Having to work again instead of gaming on the company time is gonna leave a mark.
Loaf from home and being productive is a lot like the lie of the people who say they have worked on a project 18 hours a day for months. Not possible for all but a very very few.
What you may get from loaf from home is what is required, if that. You don’t get collaboration and innovation and stimulation from peer to peer.
Besides, with no flock bosses get lonely and look useless. That may be something that needs looking into.
After your first few jobs, how did you learn about new positions? Through your friends.
Working from home is cool if you’re at the top of your field and just coasting. But if you want to get ahead, you’ll need friends and contacts — face-to-face contacts that you make in the office.
Put your big boy pants back on Pruiett and get to work.
In the medical insurance claims payment world, work from home is yhe best, claim examers get a list of claims to pay, auditors get a list of claims to audit, and the claims recovery specialist get a list of claim to get the money overpaid, all can be done from home, I loved it.
Everyone loves office work...

Who wants to be in physical proximity of woke prog fascists that loom everywhere in the work place.
I visited the main datacenter maybe 1-2 times per year. I was essentially remote as far as my actual job anyway before the lockdowns.
Now? My job hasn't changed other than my commute is about 30 seconds. People no longer wander by my desk socializing, annoying me by using their speakerphone, playing putt-putt in the aisles (That included the Director of the department), etc.
My productivity is way higher than it was working in the office, and my expenses are down. I'm an introvert, so I do not miss being around people.
Churn works both ways.
I worked in the same office 35 miles away (but 60-75 minute commute) for 16 years until COVID hit. They sent all but the factory workers home. First full COVID year I got my first perfect performance review ever. Second COVID year I got a near perfect and only lost points because of a customer delay.
Last July they called us back into the office but said we had a choice: full time in office or 3 days in office 2 home; 2 days in office and 3 home; or full time at home. I opted for full time at home.
I have already received a decent raise plus 2 bonuses in 2022 so I am confident that my employer knows I am still working hard and getting the job done from home.
The company in January moved 15 miles FARTHER away from my home into a much smaller office (70% less space) making my possible commute 90 minutes or more. (Office is near Boston.)
I save around 500 miles a week, 7-9 hours commuting time, and $7,000-$8,000 in MA income tax 9I live in NH). No way I am going back into the office. Life is so much better now.
Company benefits too as they no longer have to pay for office space for me - plus I am working more hours now than before. When was in the office I worked 8:45-5:15 each day and did not stay late or take work home unless an extreme emergency. Not I routinely work 45-50 hours.
I think it all depends upon the circumstances of the employer and employee and the work that needs to be done...
geospatial analyst? I can do that job without any money on a College edumacation.
