I hate the “WFH is depressing” talk. What’s actually depressing is 2 unpaid hours of commuting every day, getting home already exhausted, and having 4 hours left for cooking, sleeping, and getting ready to do it all again.
Never thought I’d say this, but I don’t think I could ever work an 100% remote job. Getting up and going to the office, if even 3x a week, does wonders for my productivity and mental health.
Gotta STAY CLEAR of folks who don't value the small sacrifices you make... like spending money you barely got, pulling up when you tired, giving advice, carrying their problems, or being the one who always checks in first. Some people only love the benefits, never the person. They'll use your energy just to go pour it into everybody but the one who's actually helping them.
