  • somedays, I have legit no work to do. I can just sleep or play games or go out. If it was WFO, I would've been stuck in office

Bangalore traffic. Colossal and criminal waste of time & mental torture thinking about the waste of time.

Hair loss :(

How does WFH help with that? You wash your hair in the lab?

Every time I change cities, my hair fall starts. It's frustrating every single time.

I want to save money. I was easily saving almost 80-90% salary when I was doing WFH now it <40%

Hahahah. I do regret spending on food sometimes. But after grinding for 5 days, I want at least 2 meals of my week to be good.

WFH if either days are intense or light.
WFO if work needs alignment

Progress at home, alignment at office

Hybrid makes some sense - alignment and progress

Commute in India is awful. Both time taken and experience. If you have your own vehicle it's somewhat manageable put still pathetic. If not, it's hell.

I travel 42 kms one-way to reach office, change 3 trains to get there. It takes me 1.5 hours. I can complete my daily tasks in that time and then chill/learn something the rest of the time... but no. The org feels that working from office is better when it comes to co-ordination so I have to travel for 3 hours daily 😞😞😞

  • Medical problems my parent faced recently
  • Saving on rent by not moving to a different city altogether
  • More time in hand(due to no traveling) to learn stuff if i finish the task early

  1. End up saving much more.
  2. Can stay with family.
  3. Save commute time. I open my PC at 10:30 for a 10:30 meeting.
  4. Exercise regularly. Much easier to plan a schedule when at home.
  5. Able to do something else when work is not hectic or urgent. Also, flexible work, incase kabhi mood nhi hua.
  6. Afternoon naps🥱.

There are some disadvantages too, like there's no passive learning and all. But I am active in terms of learning things, and in WFH I get time to do that. So it cancels out I guess.
