I prefer a hybrid model. Full remote can be so lonely at times. I firmly believe in person communication is invaluable in certain cases. Full remote requires setting boundaries so you don’t end up working long hours without rest.

My position is fully remote. What I like about it is I can watch the snow from my window but I don’t have to go out in the cold, I have a lot of spare time and I don’t have to dress up everyday. However, it is lonely and most times I feel distant and disconnected from the organizational mission (which was one of the main reasons I joined). I wish it was hybrid (2days office and 3 from home)

I went from a really flexible hybrid work environment that seriously affected my mental well being to a fully in office work environment that is welcoming, appreciative and supportive of my role. I could not be happier. Even with the commute.

Fully remote for two years and love it.Would never want to work on-site again. I strongly encourage businesses to allow flexibility in this area. Every employees needs are different and being open to offering options will help your company’s morale long term.

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.
