Does anyone else NOT want to work from home forever? I’ve seen so many posts and articles glorifying a work from home future... I’m all for flexibility and welcome better work life balance, but don’t think that companies shuttering office space indefinitely is the best way forward for anyone

Honestly I can't put my faith in flying again until the airlines install better air filtration systems on airplanes. The recent news of the NBC virologist reporter suspecting that he caught covid on a flight should raise concerns.

With that said, I would to prefer work from the local office in addition to work from home instead of flying to client sites.

Agreed. These are the subways of the sky. I’ve known they were cesspools for years. The perfect disease transmission vector. Until they can get them cleaner (UV lights/aggressive protocols/distancing) I’m not setting foot on a commercial flight.

I enjoy working from home when it’s the exception. I miss the separation from work and home. I’m over this.

I was learning so much being around senior managers and partners every day. Now I interact with very few people on a day to day basis and don’t feel like I’m growing professionally even while staffed. I wanted this job solely for the training and interaction with clients. Would rather take an exit opportunity and get paid more to do the same thing

I love WFH. It’s really just the other aspects of quarantine that make it bad- can’t go to restaurants or coffee shops, can’t see friends, no shows to go see.

That said, when coronavirus is over eventually, it of course won’t be 100% WFH. Some things work better in person. However, as my project at least is demonstrating, you can get the vast majority of stuff done remotely

I like wfh, but miss traveling a lot.

WFH is nice, but not when it's constant. I think one week on, one week off could be a good mix going forward.
