Don’t mind being in the office, but damn, I get so much more work done at home. I just feel calmer not being in and around people. It’s such a weird feeling but I cannot lock in and focus at the office. Even though the office is quiet, much less chaos at home and just 5x more zen. Might need to go in 3x for a new job and I’m dreading it…I realize I’m very privileged saying this, but damn. Just feel 5x more drained at the end of the day returning from the office than after working remote.

I feel this. My last two roles were hybrid but mainly remote. Office days are such a productivity black hole. Everyone starts thinking about lunch at 10, then if they do go out, don't really work again until maybe 1:30 if you're lucky. If you have headphones or a door that allows you to get work done while there I highly recommend it. Current role has some cubicles but I gravitate towards these small phonebooth-esque rooms that fit basically only a desk and a chair. The door makes a difference.

It's not just Gen-Z or Millennials. The office is genuinely a miserable energy suck. I'm remote 4x per week and my quality of life and work is exponentially better.

This is one of the things I fear about Gen Z and people who joined the workforce after COVID.

I’m an older millennial and I’ve always felt this way. I’ve alwyss struggled with the exact same thing and tried to find jobs that have at least some flex. I get so much done at home but the buzzing of the office really distracts me. Let alone the constant random “run-ins” that we pretend are how you get things done when it’s usually just casual superficial chit chat that takes up half the day

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
