How was it being back in the office for everyone else? I almost prefered being alone at home compared to alone in the office

enormously productive for me, but yes, there were moments where the emptiness was actually distracting compared to the normal background noise of other people working. the day felt very long much earlier than it used to.

and getting up for a short break doesn't feel like a break when there's no one else doing it - just feels like wasting time at the office! definitely miss spending those breaks haunting someone's doorway or the associates' lounge.

I was an introvert before covid lol, turns out I need human interaction now and then

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.
