WFH basically means you have a free day off.

Most of the time when I WFH I actually end up working longer because there’s a lack of disconnect between the office and home. So whereas working past midnight is noticeable at the office, at home it just feels like I have something to take care of before I get ready for bed.

But hey, you do you.

Yup, same.

Is a creative traffic coordinator like a PM?

I find there are PMs who think it’s their job to keep us lazy creatives in line. When we wfh, it drives these PMs crazy because they can’t come over and crack the whip all day, even tho I always marvel at the sheer volume of work I accomplish at home since I don’t have the office’s distractions and interruptions all day (not to mention the commute time).

Anyway, shout out to the PMs who treat people like adult professionals. We know you’re not all like this.

Really wish comments like yours wouldn’t taint WFH for the rest of us. And it’s a shame you would take advantage of WFH for a free day off.

Sort of. It means I can run a few local errands and tidy up the house in between dial-in meetings and projects. I’d still prefer that to being in the office any day.

A good portion of the days I work from home, it’s because I’m so busy, I can’t sacrifice commute time; I have to work literally from the moment my feet hit the floor.

That’s the opposite of what you’re saying. And to think people like you think I’m goofing off when I’m putting in an extra hard long day of work, well, it sucks. It’s unkind. It’s team destroying. You can be better.
