Anyone finding it harder to focus since going back into office? When I need to get a project done being at my home office seems more productive. How are you finding ways to get back in the swing of things?

Companies need to go back to traditional offices with doors. Not only does it reduce distractions, it’s a room you can call your own. You can decorate and put up photos of your family. The noisy, impersonal, hot-swap open layout is why we don’t want to go back.

I wish they would. I’m not sure why they feel open areas is a good idea.

Unless I have work to get done with others I can't bring myself back to the office. Just way too many distractions at all times of day with the open plan.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Feeling burnt out and unmotivated with agency life. Throughout the past year I’ve been added to a variety of “problem accounts” with challenging, disorganized and rude client contacts. Since then, it feels my teams have dwindled and I’ve been left to pick up the pieces / manage it all. I’m struggling to feel inspired and am starting to dread my work. Any tips for how to initiate account changes without sounding whiny? Or - any tips in general?
