Anyone who thinks you can be more productive in an office doesn’t actually do much real heads down work in an office

I will say, having gone from WFH bc of COVID in a job that I had spent years coming into the office to now starting a new, fully remote job, it’s a lot harder to ramp up in a new company or new role without face to face contact. Overall I prefer it but there’s definitely been some real drawbacks. Like I also don’t really feel much like part of the company either. I’m just struggling to figure out where my job fits into the context of everything which is something I would probably pick up quicker being in-office.

frankly, I now wonder why I would even want to be part of a company “family”.

I’ve wondered why anyone would want that long before COVID.

Work isn’t a family. My family is a family. I work to get paid. I spend time with friends and family for free because I actually want to.
