Working From Home woes

So I'm trying to sort out my feelings recently about my job and trying not to get annoyed, stressed out, or anything else with my co-workers. I started this job at the tail end of covid because working in the service industry and people getting sick left and right terrified me. So, working remotely for the first time ever was like this shining ray of light. When I started, I was promised so much like PTO, Maternity/Paternity Leave, Bonuses, hell I was even told that I would be recognized regularly for doing well.

So I'm trying to sort out my feelings recently about my job and trying not to get annoyed, stressed out, or anything else with my co-workers.
