Is it just me or is there something really wrong with spending 8 to 9 hours at work, only to come home and have just 4 hours of personal time, and that already includes prepping for the next day? this doesn’t feel like really living

Definitely not just you. This is why people are pushing back on RTO. When you add a 45min+ commute before and after (the average in NYC), you’re left with less than two hours to live, prepare your meal(s), workout, date, whatever. It’s not worth it.

not just you. when you add in the commute it’s even less. WFH showed us how much time we could have when our schedules don’t revolve around going into an office. Kinda hard to unsee it afterwards.

Exactly this. What a revelation it was, how much more of my time was my own. Businesses have failed to make a compelling case (yeah, “collaboration” and “culture” not convincing) for RTO other than “because it was like that before and because we said so.”

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
