What's an unique WFH habit that you'd never do in an office? No judgment zone!

I always hated WFH during Covid days. I have always made good friends at work. Sometimes even girlfriends (when I leave the company). Now I recently joined a company with amazing salary. But it’s work from home. I spend most of my time on a bed. Even if I do something productive, that’s completely being alone. Sometimes I go days without speaking a word. And I can’t talk to old friends every day. It’s become very lonely and I really miss Working from Office. P.S: I stay in a rented flat with a friend. Even he’s most of the time unavailable due to his office.

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

I'm working from Home from past 8 years out of my 14 YOE. we don't have an ODC or seats allocated thus no option to goto office. During the initial days, I felt blessed about this WFH and lately it impacts my work life balance. I binge eating and binge watch tv shows when there's no priority work. I feel I don't have any motivation to learn anything and also feel disconnected whenever I meet another techie. How do you all cope with WFH? Thank you 🙏

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup. I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

I work in remote mode full time, occasionally visit the office, once in 3 months. My office is located in a different city from where I live in. The work I do is challenging and interesting, but I manage to complete my tasks by working for max 4-5 hours a day. Remaining time of the day, I get distracted, not with household duties but by doing research on random stuff. I want start a company, but I have no idea where to start. I consume a lot of information, yet most of the time I spend goes unproductive. By nature, I am very unorganized. Most of my friends are busy in their own world and I don’t want to disturb them seeking advice. Any idea how I can get over this habit to make productive use of my time, while WFH?

I have tried developing strategies, brainstorming solutions, worried to core leading to breakdowns While collegeaues from IIT/IIM earning double, don't know basic shit I have understood there's no point putting that extra effort. How do I act dumb on purpose? I'm not someone who can stretch work, result and speed are inherent and this is why need advice here. P.S. company is citing funding winter for no appraisals this year So another reason

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office? I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin. My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling. Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office. In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause, - they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills. - they want to show who is the boss here. - Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention. What you guys think?

Now that we are running in hybrid, what do you think is the best work policy and why?
