I left a 100% WFH but fairly stressful job for a 25k raise to a laid back 100% office job with a 10 minute commute and in retrospect the extra money is only marginally worth it. It's really hard to put a number on the quality of life that WFH offers if you are able to swing it, but it's a big number regardless once you figure in things like not needing the car/insurance/gas/wasting away in a cubicle/etc.

You're capable of wasting away in a home office too unfortunately.

I’d prefer to waste away in my underwear than office attire.

If I lived a 20 minute walk from the office I wouldn't be fussed about working from home at all

I get so much less work done in an office. I calculated like 30-40% less because people were always asking me questions and interrupting my poo poo. Now I can just turn off slack and blast through projects by ignoring everyone.

I work from home when the weather makes driving in difficult (snow), and I kind of hate it. I think if I had an actual home office I could work from (with a hard phone instead of a poo poo VoIP app and a door I could shut) itd be better. As it is my PC at home is sort of in the living room because this place we're renting doesn't really have the space for it.

I would still end up having two cars between the two of us, but I’d be spending a fraction of the money on gas and I might be able to get cheaper insurance by virtue of not driving nearly as many miles. I’m also going to be driving a real beater as soon as I get it inspected and retired, so dropping down to a couple hundred miles a month rather than five-six hundred would be good for its longevity. I feel like some posters in bigger cities / different countries underestimate the necessity of having a car in a lot of the US. I would definitely still be wearing real clothes, though. Putting on jeans or khakis is part of my self-care for the day. PJ pants or sweats leave me feeling like a lazy poo poo.

I'm mostly WfH and still won't properly start the day until I've showered and have jeans on. That said, I will occasionally take a work call first thing.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Stable paycheck, relatively low-stress job without much responsibility, and a life that's probably focused outside of work. While you are correct, it doesn’t apply in this case. The guy was passed over for a promotion and immediately went gently caress it. The change in his quality of work was immediate.

Working from home, week 2, thanks to broken ankle. Not commuting is nice. Having to deal with my rugrats underfoot (even with grandma around to help corral them) sucks. At least it's quiet at work aside from the new weird political struggle going on. TL;DR version of power struggle: my boss is not technically my listed supervisor. Boss has been feeding me a combo line of "We're too busy as a team to work on projects that you actually want to work on" and "OK maybe you're twiddling your thumbs but just keep doing that until I come up with something else you won't want to do." My actual supervisor who is typically a distant VP just gave me a really nice project and said, "If your 'boss' tries to tell you not to work on this, ask her to take it up with me because you don't actually report to her." I guess this is good? Jaded Burnout posted:Save the pedants, wear fewer clothes

My first two jobs I worked in a pseudo-cube farm (low walls at desk, but no one was crammed in and foot/conference traffic was minimal) and a straight up govt cube farm and for the most part never really felt the need to WFH. I always felt more stressed out by the fact that I was goofing off and not accomplishing anything in those times I did WFH then I did actually working in the office. My current job though is full blown open office, with folks crammed in like sardines with not even a cork board to separate the desks. I WFH at least once a week just to get poo poo done and take a little breather from the chaos my office is. I still like this job more than the previous two, but I feel a lot more anxiety and stress in the office than I did before. Part of that might be a co-worker on my team who is a great dev and a decent person, but was also loud and prone to starting bullshit conversations about nothing with anyone in earshot. Or worse, just sticking their nose into any conversation happening that they happened to hear. Not having a commute is always a nice QoL bump for the day though, plus being able to run errands, make lunch from my fridge (since I always forget) or just dink around on my PC at lunch. I think my ideal job would involve having a personal office that I walk to everyday (maybe shared with one or two other people) open my email & slack, crank out tickets for 6 hours, and then walk home.

A ticket came in: "<Location> is experiencing high lag when executing normal operations, can someone take a look at the infrastructure to see if there is any issues. I personally notice the lag on Aos1 and Aos2 servers." No, there's no problem with the servers. No, there's no problem with the storage. No, there's no problem with the network. There's never been a problem with the servers, storage or network. Maybe it's your monolithic, poorly programmed piece of poo poo ERP system. But please, open another loving ticket asking if it's the network or servers again. please.

A ticket came in for a known VPN issue with a select few devices. It sucks, but the fix is to go in to the nearest office to get on the network so SCCM can sort poo poo out. Dude says he's an hour away from the nearest office and decides marking the ticket high priority will somehow make us fix it without him having to go in. Sure thing friend. I'll get right on that.

I dunno, if I'm that guy I'm not driving two hours over broken company equipment unless it's on the clock. This assumes he's doing WFH or otherwise has a reason to be an hour from any office, if he's just camping and expects his poo poo to work then lol

His drive into the nearest office is 100% on company time. I would offer to trade devices but he wants it working 5 minutes ago and not tomorrow.

We did a good thing and updated a bunch of SSL certs before they expired! YAY except the person making the change didn't swap to actually USE that cert in the config on a bunch of our firewalls so people couldn't access VPN and other poo poo; easy fix but man.
