Sorry to hear that. I know how lucky I am and it's not because I want to "work collaboratively" with anyone. I'm quite happy in the office when there's only a handful of us in. Long term permanent WFH isn't for me. I realise for a many it's great
Me either. I'm in no hurry to get back to the office full time, but I know I'm just dossing about at home.
There's no one in my chain of command that can do my role, so none of them know exactly what it entails, how long it takes me to do things, whether what I'm doing is a piece of piss or pretty difficult. They basically trust what I'm telling them.
The issue there is what I am telling them isn't necessarily the exact truth. I can do something in 20 minutes, but tell them it took 4 hours, and they are none the wiser.
Open my emails in the morning, nothing urgent to do, straight on RAWK and that can be me for the whole day at times.
I reckon I'm easily 80% less effective at home than I would be in the office.
