Antiwork

File this under crazy idea or not….

So she says “are you serious right now!?” So I said we're talking about my money here, im finding out last minute and she interrupts telling me that i was told on the group chat (have checked since. I wasn't. ) and goes on about how good of…

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts and opinions. I’ve been working from home since august 2020 due to coronavirus and as of the 1st of March we are being forced to return to work full time over a 3 week period. A lot of people aren’t happy with this as they have become accustomed to the freedom that comes with WFH. Making work life balance so much easier as well as caring for children and loved ones.

I was able to reduce my work time significantly because I could get everything done and didn’t mind staying back 30 mins as there was no commute. Has anyone successfully returned to the workplace?
