Going back to the office after working from home ?

Answered 4 years ago

I have loved working from home, I see the kids everyday and my husband. No travel and I go out for walks and meet a friend for exercise straight after work. I’m also more productive. I am dreading going back anyone feel the same?

I worked from home for 4 wks and started back last week. I loved working from home. Had my two teens home learning and we were all in a good routine, spending time together. Doubt it will ever happen like that again!

No I hate being back in the office, it makes it too difficult to get away with doing nothing.

I have loved being back in the office, my husband is still at home and balancing work, kids and house like I have for so long, and has now realised how hard it is. I am home just intime to sit and spend time with my clean fed children while he cleans up the house. I love this opposite world.

Yep! I don’t want to return to the old normal.

I’m the opposite- I love my family dearly, but it is much nicer to see them all in the evening and spend the weekends together when we’ve had some time away from each other.

Is there any chance at all that you can continue to work from home, fulltime or part-time?

Are you at all anxious about returning?

Not at all, I hate presentism where we all have to be seen to be doing a good job. I personally am happier and more productive in my own home. I have also been sexually harassed in the past at work, I’m in a different work place now so no issues but still no need to put myself at risk.

All day. It’s nice seeing everyone and being together all day.

I know quite a few that feel the same. I’m not so into working from home, but I can certainly see my stress levels are better- but I’ve put on weight and the family dynamic hasn’t been great.. I went back last week, but hubby is still home..him and I want him back at work. I wish we had the same sentiments as you! :(
