Work from home- A unordinary lifestyle

instead of bitching here, go workout daily, participate in your household work, do something with your free time (cycling, hanging out with friends etc) , i am also doing wfh and absolutely love it and if you still feel wfo is better try going to blr/pune and face the traffic one way, you will thank your stars that you have wfh

A lifestyle issue cannot be solved by commuting to office daily and engaging in office gossip. It may act as a distraction but if I understand right, you are not working out and not practicing mindfulness to improve your physical and mental health. Once you start commuting to office, there are even lesser chances that you will start that because a good amount of time will go in traffic and unnecessary social interactions (mainly gossip).

Do household work. Cleaning your house, chopping vegetables, washing utensils, getting veggies and meat from kirana stores. You will feel more grounded. Working in software companies in office is not any better. Life is drudgery for everyone. Don't expect to do anything different.

100% agree with you here. As someone who suffered during work from home myself - everything has become better for me as I returned to work from office.

Mental health, physical health and relationships and friends. All better.

Have been doing WFH Since 2019 and enjoying so far. As you mentioned, me too, have lost connections with my friends even with those which were close friends. I would suggest you to go on vacation, alone if no one joins you, it helps so much.

Absolutely right. WFH feels nice only for a short-while, in the long term it starts causing trouble. Our work was supposed to be done from Office, for several reasons. There are several aspects to it, and everyone understands those, but many still prefer to put their heads under sand like an Ostrich. And surly most companies will be reverting to work from office model soon. On one hand there are layoffs, and on the other hand, people are so concerned about work from office being a reality, amazing!

If we think about staying at home for many hours while doing WFH.... Then we have to think about our wives and mothers because they are cooking, cleaning and taking care of us, our children and they aren't suffering like us thinking like I'm having a poor connection with friends and having less physical health.

We want WFO to manage juniors especially freshers and less experience candidates and to gossip with managers and colleagues for promotion and our own benefits.

In olden days people worked from home only. Example Small scale industries like handicrafts making etc.... in cities you are having a lot of pollution health issues tiredness... Just think wisely. Not to criticize anyone here.

In olden days

My physical health has definitely went down since COVID era.

Have a gf or get married start involving yourself in life other than work

It’s about how well you can adapt
