[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People used to meet their spouses at work. With WFH it will be hard for me to (new-ish grad here).[/quote] Lol, I appreciate the honesty. I met my DH when we worked together as clerks at the same law firm, and 22 years and 2 kids later we are happily WFH in the exurbs. Employers should give their new hires the option to come in to the office, but your desire to meet a spouse definitely isn’t a reason that my 45 year old married self needs to come in. [/quote] I have the same feelings. I met my husband through a coworker so I wouldn’t have met him if not for my in person job. I also loved my 20s. Grabbing coffee/lunch/spontaneous happy hours are all amazing social opportunities before you have other family responsibilities. I now WFH full time because I have kids and aging parents but I encourage all the young grads I mentor to go into the office. Frankly I don’t understand young grads that want to stay home and work all day - it would make me depressed. Get up, get showered, put on a cute outfit and go out there and live your life![/quote] I do go in for the reasons you mention, but the pandemic has done a number on the metro. [/quote]
