me! lose an hour of sleep to sit for 45 mins in traffic to take zoom meetings from a sound proof booth and pay 10x for coffee and be unable to focus due to being in an open plan room with music playing, bright fluorescent lights and a cavalcade of co-worker jackanapery.
So true.
As someone who never got work from home this is how I viewed my friend this weekend as they had a breakdown about having to go back in the office ONE DAY A WEEK.
Yup, this is how I felt working in health care when people came TO my office to tell me it wasn’t safe for them to work
