I have been working from home for several years and LOVE not being in the office. I write software so I’m mostly on my own anyway. I do not miss the pop-ins or water cooler chat. I’m also in FL which is several states away from the office.
I’m in Florida about 7-8 miles from the office and I almost never go. Like you I’m in Software though more corporate babysitting of an expensive COTS tool that I’m expert in (IBM product in fact haha).
Too much diversity for me. Someday I’ll have to start showing up I guess.
