I truly don’t work differently at home compared to the office. There’s slow days in the office as well! People forget this
There’s days where I will work nonstop at home and other days where I browse the news almost all day in the office while waiting for the next meeting. And vice versa. It depends on what’s on my plate I do my best focused work at home. I do my best team-oriented work (meetings, strategy, brainstorming with others) in the office. I aim to maximize both strengths in each place, but doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I have a meeting on my wfh days and it’s a slog. And doing focused reading in the office is awful: too much noise |
My old all remote company the second largest category of leavers is “job abandonment” No one ever retired. They basically did absolutely bare minimum or literally ghosted getting weeks, months even 1-3 years pay. Then they get off boarded we have two weeks pay in leu of notice plus two weeks severance per year then they file unemployment. People going back to school or retiring why quit. I stopped working around August 2022, maybe 2-3 hours a week. I finally quit May 2023 and they asked me to stay. I easily could have milked it another year or two. Why anyone would retire is beyond me in private. Wait for layoff |
