Do you want to go back to working in an office? Why/why not?

Personally I think I’ve felt less connected to my creative partner and in-person collaboration works a lot better/feels more personal for me

Never ever want to go back. Commuting is hell. My dog is good enough company for me. And he doesn’t cook fish in the microwave or stink up the bathroom.

My dog stinks up the whole house, but when he's not, I am. We're made for each other.

I'm open to hybrid like 1-2x days a week in office. Pros and cons for both for sure but commuting and actually looking decent for the office definitely impact the day.

You can go hang out with your partner any time. Nothing is stopping you and it shouldn’t require an entire company to go back to the office.

My partner was hired remotely! I honestly don’t know what to do about this

I went back twice this week, and it was the best I have felt in so long. I respect everyone’s choice, but I am dying sitting in my apartment. I’m just too extroverted to be sitting at my computer. And it was so much easier getting quick answers from people in person.

I’m 💁‍♀️🐠. Was in a long-term relationship that ended last year and since then I’ve been on an extended celibacy run to work on myself etc. I’m looking to get back into the dating scene. Part of me wants to just get some 🍆 action (to quench the thirst) then start to look seriously. Any advice on dating?

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

Transitioning from full time agency life to be a freelancer and/or part timer. How have folks negotiated their rate, hourly vs day? For reference, I’m in the Account/Project Management space and have 8+ years of experience. And I’d ideally like the rate to result in more $$ than what I was making when salaried. Thanks!
