Thinking about going fully remote so I can work at home with more peace, but it would definitely hurt my chances of getting promoted. It’s a tough decision to make, but it might be the right one for me. Going to work in person really causes a lot of stress as the office culture is unbearable. Has anyone here had to make this kind of decision? What was the outcome for you?

I'm not able to WFH here. If I was, I would go for it in a heartbeat. Not having to commute and deal with office nonsense would make my life so much better. Given that you're posting in this bowl, I feel like you don't want to stay with this company long-term, so I wouldn't be worried about potentially missing out on a promotion. I'd WFH until I was able to find another job and then put my two weeks in.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I’ve been back and forth with deciding. Hope we both find new stable opportunities.

The stress of a toxic office culture can be so draining. Going fully remote might set you back on the promotion front, but your mental health and peace are way more important in the long run. I chose remote work a while ago, and it’s been a life saver for me personally

I’m remembering back in 2020 when everyone at my company was fully remote. Dealing with the office culture was much more bearable. However, with the economy I’m worried I’ll have trouble finding Manager+ opportunities and delaying my career growth also doesn’t sound ideal. Thanks for sharing your perspective as someone that’s personally gone through that decision. Helps tremendously.

I’ve seen that most companies do not want you to work from home as they can’t monitor you and micromanage you. At the end of the day, your personal mental health is more important than the job. I personally made the decision to wfh myself and it hindered my ability to move up but I had better quality of life.

How do you feel about the decision you made? Do you think it was the right choice?

I can't WFH in my role but I would love to. It would significantly increase my productivity and my happiness and I'm jealous of everyone who can!

My productivity would skyrocket! The office chit chat drains me and there are hours that go by where I realize I didn’t get anything done because I was pulled into something like validating my coworkers complaints
