Hi fishes, I declined the offer from Pwc AC bangalore on July 28th by sending an email to HR, communicated the same to us_pwc_ac_bangalore_recruitment_services@pwc.com. But I keep getting these emails to complete pre-hiring formalities and daily reminders for the same. How can I make them update the status in system? Also are there repercussions of rejecting an offer. I rejected 3 days after acceptance. PwC Pwc AC

Go to a coworking office. Build community there. Bonus points for whatever office perks you like - socials, coffee, industries you want to network with.
You might be able to expense the coworking membership.
I had to look up what this was, but this actually sounds great! Might actually be better than my current work environment since it’s people who choose to be somewhere rather than many at traditional offices who feel forced to come in. Found a space in area I quite like, so makes me feel a little more optimistic about my options.
I hated working from home until I actually built a solid home office to my specific needs. When I was just trying to be productive on my laptop at the dining table, it was awful. But when I made an ergonomic setup with the monitors and aesthetics that worked for me, I really started loving WFH.
I heard especially during covid transitions, that was the big thing for a lot of people. Going from desks and multi monitor setups, to folding tables and laptops wasn’t great. My set up is pretty decent for what it is, I just want to have the option of being somewhere since I get stir crazy otherwise.
The first step is to make your "work from home" routine as close to the one you'd have in an office. The discipline and patterns help make the transition. Reach out to people just to chat online. In a home office situation, having to ping someone before calling them adds a level of respect for the other person's time that doesn't exist in an open office. Focus on the positives and anything you can do to make the subjective experience more comfortable. Beyond that, I have no idea as I tend to be the guy who takes over a conference room and locks the door to avoid distractions from getting my deliverables written.
Have you checked out industry Meet-ups, conferences, etc? When I first started working remotely (almost 15 years ago!), I had a similar issue. I built myself an office and I started going to industry meet-ups, classes, and conferences.
Now, I LOVE being remote and do not want to go back to an office.
I'd love to do a hybrid job so I can have the best of both worlds! Is that an option for you?
I am at the point in my life where I want to work from home but am not having any luck finding anything
Yeah, I feel bad about it. For what it’s worth, I’m going to be underpaid compared to what a lot of people with level experience would want. Why I feel I got it.
I don’t have a family and live alone in a boring area. Nothing in life I’m really interested in, but trying to figure out and getting myself out of the house more helps with that after years of being a shut in.
I wouldn’t apply for something remote if it wasn’t an overall good fit in every other way and I really needed the cash and health insurance to survive.
Be happy to be employed in any type of position and make it work
I am which is why I’m trying to make it more ideal in the first place. I just genuinely don’t want to go in the mindset of this is until I get something better suited for me, but trying to make it better suited for me.
Do you really want to relocate at your own expense whenever you get a new job?
"Working from coffee shops" is in the category that I was going to recommend. Go to the library, or if you live in a building with a resident lounge or shared workspace, then go there. If your employer has an office within a reasonable drive of you, then go there a few times per month.
Talk about first world problems 🤣. Be grateful that you’re privileged to not have to get out and brave a commute to be at an office and back for the same work you can do anywhere. Evaluate the extra time and flexibility you now have and use it to build community. I’m personally so grateful that I can now be there for my kids in a way that my parents or me prior to remote work couldn’t have been chained to an office desk. Plan and do accordingly.
Remote work doesn't mean WFH. For me, one of the greatest perks of remote is that I can work from anywhere - I try to leave the house whenever possible. My local coffee shop has a printer to entice remote workers. I like the library, hotel lobbies, park gazebo, etc. On nice days I work from the HOA pool. As long as I have my laptop, Internet and phone signal I can go anywhere.

On the surface it sounds a little odd but it for those it works for it REALLY works.

This sound a little self serving, like my girlfriend is too hot or my bank account is too fat. You have the opportunity to work anywhere. You can work from home, or a coffee shop, or a beach, or a forest, or a co-working space. Maybe take the win.
Get a good stereo or a 2nd computer playing Youtube in the background.
Look to renting a social office space fair few of those around a small room or change your routine work in a different location for a few hours.
At home reposition how you work, where you sit for lunch for example, a meeting etc all has an affect on your mind it's new input aka change of perspective.
If you're active work out do body training by your desk not hard can get bands from online to assist and lots of youtube videos to show you how.
Take regular breaks every 25 to 45 minutes walk around the block or something and invest in a stand up desk if you are able to stand and cycle between sitting and standing.
If you have a friend ask to share an office room rental these social spaces are cheap when split between two people you get to network as well.
Find a library where you can go work and also an option short let's I.e. rooms to rent Monday to Friday get a few days a week nearby so you can walk and cycle to and from your home location rental is usually cheaper than a shared office (but no guarantee you will have sane house mates).
Plenty of ways to break the monotonous nature of working from home but don't end up hating your job that is a bad place to be.
All the best.
Imagine complaining about getting to WFH.. smh
At my last job, I successfully got my team to carve out 1 hour a week for Water Cooler talk. Come and go as you want, a time to meet and catch up on work, life, challenges, what you're doing for the weekend, anything you want to talk about. If you need time to vent or discuss work, make sure you don't invite managers. It was our time as a team to bond and get to know each other since we all worked remotely. It was the one online meeting we all looked forward to every week.
You need to set up a home office space that meets your indivdual needs as well as what you need to complete your work functions.
List out what do you need to work from home comfortably?
How big of a screen do you want?
Wireless mouse and keyboard?
Do you like background music?
Is my computer hardwired or connecting wireless to your router? (Usually hardwired.)
Once you have everything that makes it comfortable, you should be golden.
I might be able to offer some tips. I have been working from home for over a decade. But it would be easier to help if I knew why you hate working from home. The first suggestion is separate your work office in your home from everything else. Only go there for work, do not make it multipurpose. Mine is in the basement, separated from every other room. If you are located near other co-workers try to arrange in person meetings at coffee shops or other locations to collaborate. But with out knowing why you hate working at home, I can not provide real value in the suggestions.
I worked remotely since 2004. You have to set aside a work space in your house. You go in the morning and make it your office. The difference is your commute is a minute instead of however long it takes you to get to the office. The space is the key. And it may have to be a starbucks. I did that when I traveled. You will find that you will make it work. Best of luck.
I started WFH in the 90's. Company encouraged it by installing and paying for ISDN (2B+D) and giving me a Sun Workstation. Saved me 80 miles a day.
Fast forward to today I WFH 2 days a week, primary because my management is weak and the culture is rules-based.
I despise WFO, I rarely socialize with coworkers, and keep my cube door closed 99% of the time. I attend all meetings via Teams even when I am in the office. Most of my coworkers do the same.
Working remotely saves wear and tear on your car. It also saves money on lunches if you work from home. I you stuck on being around people you could rent a collaborative office space where you are around many other professionals.
