My firm is virtual - all work done remotely in home office unless on client site. Haven’t traveled since mid October. It’s driving me nuts. What do you recommend doing?

Are you an extrovert? It can be hard to go without human contact for days on end. I’m in a similar position and I’ve found getting out and taking walks during the day, and grabbing dinner with friends after work helps

Hold on wait, you’re complaining? My leadership team makes me come to office everyday even if I’m not on a project and are super anal of always being in office even if there’s nothing to do or nothing happening

Yeah you’re right. My team is toxic and bullies me so I hate them. So I’m happy not seeing them. But there are certain people in the office I love seeing and they make my day!

Find a coworking space and use it. Think of not as networking and you should be good.
Also you are right to worry, if your job goes virtual it goes to the lowest bidder in a global pool.

Oh man, I'm super jealous! I would LOVE that!

I’ve been working in operations at a film/tv distribution company in NYC for close to 7 years earning 70k base. This is the only company I’ve ever worked for. I know I have enough experience to qualify as a director because my colleague has this title and they do the same type of work. I’ve also been at the company longer than everyone on my team. I work fairly long hours and often find myself staying after 6 to finish assignments. I don’t get paid OT. What should I negotiate in the next review?
