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 love it and I’m never going back.

    • I save myself the commute (time, gas).
    • In closer to my son’s daycare, so it’s easier to pick him up of something spontaneously comes up.
    • I’m near my dog throughout the day.
    • I have the fridge close to me. ;-)
    • I can do the laundry or start the vacuum robot at convenient times.
    • I have less interruptions by blergh people.
    • I don’t have to sit with my back towards the office door, which in turn was adjacent to the men’s room.
    • I can wear casual legwear.
    • Better coffee.
    • My three person office at work is empty anyway, because my colleagues commuted from further apart and are happy about WFH as well. So my options are a) sit alone in my office at home or b) sit alone in my office at work.
    • I’m here for deliveries throughout the day.
    • I don’t have that loneliness/isolation issue going, but I do see that it’s wildly different among people; some are made for WFH and some need the office to be happy.

    EDIT to add, because it’s an important factor and I read it in the answers:

    • shitting on your own toilet, with proper toilet tissue, even through remote meetings.
