Burn out and WFH

I will always be a supporter of working from home. I work in the corporate sphere with a hybrid schedule where I'm in the office 3 days a week and home for two.

I will always be a supporter of working from home. I work in the corporate sphere with a hybrid schedule where I'm in the office 3 days a week and home for two.

I know there's a lot of online humor about how WFH can mean doing anything else but work. I like working in my apartment because I don't have a manager breathing down my neck every minute of the day.

My days in the office have been productive enough to keep me afloat and the few activities I do at home have supported it. My 90-day review last week went well and I received an anonymous compliment from the vice president of HR. I did not expect to be feeling such intense guilt and fear over being 'found out' about blowing off work.

I'm tired. Capitalism is a mind fuck.
