Just to add a perspective, I work for a FAANG and we have no plans to go remote and will very much be office based. In fact, most of the company is yearning to go back to work. But our office space is pretty nice as well. I personally am sick and tired of working from home and can’t wait to return to work. I am tired of poor ergonomics of my home office, tired of constantly having to schedule formal zoom calls for every casual chat, staring at the screen all day, and not have any in person connection all day. My neck and back is hurting. And I am putting on more weight simply because I am glued to a chair all day.
- 91edec 6y agoTheres a difference between remote work and being locked in your home.
- gofreddygo 6y agoYou sound so attached to that FAANG office of yours. Use that FAANG salary to get a nice chair, a sturdy table, good coffee and a coffee machine. Home or office, staring at a screen all day ain't good for no one. And that weight is from the eating not the sitting. Try cutting that out a bit and run around your home, setup a home gym, do some pushups. And for fucks sake turn that phone off, shut that laptop and get some good sleep. I'm on my way to get some. Good night and good luck.
- buboard 6y agowhat if you go back to the office and 50% of your friends are not at the office but work from home?
- allthecybers 6y agoFellow FAANG here. My WFH experience has been the opposite, but I do look forward to leaving the house for social activities of my choice outside of WFH. Even before COVID I invested in a height adjustable desk, ergo chair, adjustable led lighting and a decent monitor for my home office. It’s made a huge difference. I personally like that I can’t have hallway interruptions and can be intentional about my meeting cadence, frequency and focus time. Sure I might put in a couple extra hours here and there but I’m also not spending those hours commuting anymore.
