I hated it. I did it for about 2 months and was going crazy. It felt like there was no distinction between home life and work.
I have two offices in my house. The one in my Master bedroom has the better view...I looked over to my left about 6PM one day and realized I had spent about 19 hours of the last 24 in my bedroom. That depressing realization made me see how that was no way to live.
I immediately told them I was going back to the office whether they liked it or not. This was very early in the shutdowns in 2020.
I also noticed that the production of some employees went way down after we went all remote.
Some people do better in one rather than the other.
When I had a private office, I was as efficient as working at home. I’d go back to a private office without issue.
But when I was in a cube farm or bullpen, my productivity decreased. I’d look for a new job before working like that again.
Going back to covid, I stayed at the office instead of working from home, much to the annoyance of a few coworkers.
Then, when everyone came back with masks, I requested to work from home, as I wasn’t dealing with the mask security theater. Again, to the annoyance of the same coworkers.
