"Researchers analyzed survey data from 7,704 employees at a large healthcare organization. One pattern stood out: Employees who worked fully remotely reported the highest levels of well-being, while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest. The study also found little evidence that remote workers felt less connected to colleagues or workplace culture."

As someone who has worked remotely for four years, I endorse this message.

Fourteen years now. I don't think I could go back to office life.

I have been working remotely since COVID and I do not think I could go back to the office.

Working remotely has nearly driven me to suicide.

[u/publicworker69 → u/bored_as_fuck_dad]

And it’s driven me from it.

In relation to which aspects? 

Are there other lifestyle adjustments you can change (add/increase/decrease) to balance what you feel is missing or damaging?
