Worst news, I have to go back to the office. I do email engagement… why would I need to be there? How hard is the 3–5 days a week return for you? I’m looking at a one-hour commute each way and lunch prices wrecking my budget.

Same, I quit and got a fully remote job

like

In office isn’t worth it. If it wasn’t for this completely avoidable recession we dropped ourselves into there would be more WFH on the market but as it stands you really do need a connection.

I do the same type of work and have been fully remote for 5 years. I really can't think of a reason for you to need to be in office, aside from someone in management thinking they need even more control over employees. Super frustrating, not having to commute is one of the biggest perks of WFH. I was previously spending 1:30 in the car every day and hated every minute of it.

I’m really dreading going back :( commuting is not very efficient and I just don’t see the point of being there when I am doing great at home

Fortunately my team is scattered around the country, so there is no return to office. We do have work pods to reserve, but I’m still mostly alone 2 days/wk. I think part of me goes in so I stay in the habit of some kind of commute if things change somehow.

That’s good because things can change in the blink of an eye!

I feel the same way. Everything I do can be done remote yet I am expected to be in office 5 days a week, makes no sense.

No sense!

I'm lucky that I'm still remote, but I'm wondering how long it will last. To be honest, I used to like working in offices, I enjoyed the camaraderie of it. And you do learn by osmosis, which can't happen remotely. But if I had to go back to the office I'm sure it would be tough to handle at first, especially because there would seem to be no point to it. Well, except that bosses want to see people working away.

I immediately loved working at home as soon as it became an option haha but it’s true I don’t really have any friends or connections outside of my immediate team so that could be good

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
