I have been working from home for a while, but recently my company changed the policy and now we have to go to the office 4 days a week. Ugh, it feels so tiring! The commute, getting ready, and spending so much time outside the house just adds up. Sometimes it feels like my whole life is just about work now, and I really don’t like it.

Why do you think companies make policies like this?

You might want to discuss, that not having the long commute is helping you. It's taken a toll off mentally. They might let you continue.

Wow, they responded in such a harsh manner. Sadly, that's how certain companies operate. When, people on the job talk to me, in that manner, l quickly take the hint and leave. Since, they don't value me being there.

It's all about control. That, and because they can. The state of the current job market means they know 99% of employees are going to fall in line because they have no other choice.

Yup! They know people don't have a lot of options these days so they have to follow whatever they force.

Totally get you, it’s such a shift going from home to almost full-time in the office. Companies usually say it’s about collaboration or culture, but it can feel exhausting. Hope you find little ways to make the commute and office days more manageable!

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
