Bored and lonely. I completed my main assignments early, and I can’t really do much else with them until I get a response from my boss to let me know I’m on the right track.

In the past I enjoyed taking initiative and creating new projects for myself and then deliver them to the team without anybody needing to ask me for it. But doing that lately has just been getting me in trouble, or nobody even cares.

I’m generally a pretty enthusiastic person and I enjoy cheering on my coworkers and helping them with their own questions and projects, but all this isolation has my enthusiasm battery pretty drained.

Text is efficient at conveying facts and ideas, but it’s terrible at conveying emotion. How are other people coping with the lack of emotional input at work?

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

Any advice for monitoring employees while working from home? Our phone system works from an app in our cells and we have remote access to our files and computers.

I think all the people who say they have a hard time working at home either have no discipline or live in a hole in the wall. I love wfh in my mansion with sprawling space and triple screen monitors.
