I need to hear other peoples’ opinions/experiences! Do you actually work the full 40 hours a week? A lot of the time I finish my work before the end of the day and I’m not doing much for the remainder. This is part of the reason I would rather work from home. I get frustrated that I finish all my work but have to stay until I hit 8 hours just to check the box when I would rather be cleaning or doing my personal tasks. I feel like productivity should be measured instead of just time:(

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
