  I’m just pointing out that not everyone thrives in a WFH environment and I think it shouldn’t be a controversial take to admit that.

  I work in an industry that doesn’t sleep, that doesn’t mean I’m putting in more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis. But we need someone to be on-call over the weekends in case there is an emergency. And when I do, my boss lets us take additional time off later in the week to make up for it. You guys are making crazy assumptions based off nothing.

  That works great if you have the space to do so. I live in a very small home by myself and I really don’t have that kind of space around.

  Its not a uniquely “me” problem, I’ve talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I’m not talking about putting in extra time when I’m not supposed to be at work. I’m just talking about how it “feels” to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I’m sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don’t really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.

  Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.

  I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at “work” when your workplace is also your home. Now I am back in the office and actually prefer it that way. I have the flexibility to work from home on weekends or when I need to be home for some reason, which is good enough for me.
