I’ve never had a WFH job and I generally don’t think I’d personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn’t like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I’m not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.

    I’ve been WFH since 2020, and it’s working well for me.

    There are some obvious benefits such as not having a commute, being able to do laundry during breaks and always being there when a package arrives.

    Some maybe less obvious advantages I personally enjoy is being able to eat whenever, meaning a quick snack but also my lunch, and wearing less appealing but way more comfortable clothes.

    Oh, and shitting in my own toilet. While getting paid for it. Definitely that.

    I’m not gonna dismiss the potential challenges, though. It works well for me because I don’t mind being alone and I’m lucky to have a spare room to use as an office. Without those two factors it could easily enter suck territory.
