Working from home. I hate it. If I had a family or a social life and a self-disciplined gym regimen, I'd be fine. But I dont. And I work for yanks, so my hours are all shifted to suit them.

I miss having a daily commute I could work a daily exercise into, colleagues I could passively chat to, social events happening around me.

But I dont. There are no other jobs, just yank work. I just wake late, sleep late, consume fast food, and work.

Everyone should have the opportunity to work where it suits them best.

I'm glad I have a great environment, and I wish everyone else could find and get into their best workflow, as it's a waste otherwise.

I'm sorry, that sucks. As cliche as it sounds, when I was stuck in a similar rut, the biggest positive influence was to try and go outside regularly. Even if it's just walking through nature for a couple of minutes every other day, it really helped my energy levels and mood.

Stay strong! I hope you find something better.

Your pain is valid and I'm sorry you're feeling it

Damn I wish my company offered remote work again. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Damn I am having the exact oppisite experice. I hate dealing with the public and everything that comes with working outside of the house, but all the work from home jobs have been scooped up and its been impossible to find a decent one since COVID. Its extremely annoying to me because I don't want to go back to retail and feel like I am not being given a choice.

Oh for sure, working retail with some hybrid home time would be the dream, not having to deal with pushy customers so much
