I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I’m looking forward to working hybrid later this year.

I spent half of my senior year of college in the pandemic and graduated into remote work. So I’m excited for the socialization and experience being in office brings. Sure, it’s because I’m young and nieve - I bet I’ll appreciate remote work more as time goes on. Despite that I’m tired of being on Zoom and excited to interact with my coworkers, irl 🙂

I know many juniors who are chomping at the bit to work in person. And understandably so. Those of us who have our sea legs don’t mind remote work but you gain/learn so much by those impromptu water cooler chats or coffee walks

I would’ve hated working remote at your age.

Not naive whatsoever. Hybrid is where it’s at. I couldn’t be happier with the mix. How many days a week are you going in? We’re Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s at my agency and I feel like that’s the sweet spot, but I’d be fine adding a Thursday as well.

Going in Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Thanks for your perspective

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
