The Fair Work Commission is considering basic rights to work from home. Here’s what the evidence says about the impacts of working from home on physical health and mental wellbeing.
It doesn’t make me thrive, I hated it. The office was about all the social interaction I ever got and my alcoholism got a million times worse when it got taken away for WFM. I’m not saying we should make policy based on my neuroses but until a company pays my rent because they’re using my apartment as an office I will never consider doing it.
Meanwhile I will never consider going into the office unless the alternative is starving to death because it’s much harder to be sexually harassed in a remote job.
I mean the pro-remote work stance is completely valid especially that one. This is just a me hangup which wouldn’t be an issue if I had actual friends. Just mad I got fired over alcoholism made worse by the company forcing me remote for Covid.

Couldn’t hurt to have some friends. True.
And for the record the forced remote work was the correct covid policy. I just caught a stray.
Same, we didn’t have a choice, I just coped with it really poorly
Same here and it got me fired from my six figure tech job
I didn’t get fired (stopped a few months ago), but I definitely would have. I just got caught by the right person instead of the wrong one
I got caught by a careerist middle manager instead of the fellow recovering manager I had for most of my time at the company
hope you do better with the alcoholism, I need to quit drinking too
I am doing better with it at this exact moment by having a beer tbh.
I’m drinking but I’m telling myself it’s a treat because I also exercised today
I’m doing that because i cleaned the stovetop and one dish today.
I hate office socializing because saying the wrong thing to the wrong person could get me fired. It’s a minefield lmao
My coworkers were mostly all on H1Bs soooo
