RTO Mental Health Improvement

[Anonymous]

You know, you can get dressed and put on makeup when you WFH too? You should try it.

I WFH 2 days a week now. I get up, brush my hair, brush my teeth, put some tinted moisturizer on. And get this. Actual clothes. That I could wear outside of my house and not be embarrassed by.

I think sometimes it’s a good thing to interact in person, but we could stand with doing that just 1 day per week, not every day.

But you have to teach yourself to love yourself to have higher expectations, instead of relying on an authority figure to force you into it. It's a maturity issue.

You’re right - I am too mature and my menopausal self does need the extra push of “the man.”

I hate having to work in real clothes and be nice all day to people and not glare at annoying people, having to make sure my lunch has my name and date so it doesn’t get stolen or thrown away, having to do laundry at 7pm rather than 11am , having to make sure I have my keycard to go use the bathroom, answer what my plans are for the long weekend.

I hate having to share an office with three other people where I feel like I can’t fart or burp if I need to. Or eat my tuna fish sandwich. Or greet my kids when they got home from school.

If you are better in office, shut up and go to the office.

Hybrid is best. Mandatory 5 day RTO with zero flexibility to telework is pure poop. But enjoy your WFH day!
