Is anyone else having trouble just BEING back at the office… for a full day? Even if it’s hybrid. It’s like driving me insane just sitting here in silence and making small talk from 9-5:30. I feel so trapped.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I don’t have any problem doing work in the office, but absolutely dread the lulls on a slow day. Even when I’ve gotten through my whole to-do list for the day, I feel like it looks bad/is less acceptable to be doing nothing than it was pre-WFH.

I feel you! It's so hard to transition back into a "normal" routine after such a relaxing vacation. Sometimes it feels like we're stuck in this never-ending cycle of work and stress
