Am thinking of paying to go to a coworking space for the remainder of our semi-permanent WFH; working from my tiny apartment has been awful for my mental health and work/life balance. Has anyone had an exceptional experience or have advice? 🙏🏻

Thanks for your responses! I’ll try to mooch off my friend’s porch. All I have is a sad lil’ fire escape. I wish our library had decent working space.

I thought about doing that too but really it defeats the purpose of not being in an office right now.

It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
