Working From Home
I want to start with saying that if you prefer Working From Home, I will happily stick up for you in an argument, but I am so glad we're back in the office.
Work have switched to hybrid working for our role. Interestingly, they've also switched to hybrid for my old job, which is interesting after 4 years of them insisting that was impossible (basically 3/4 of that dept. can't work from home so it was decided that the remaining 1/4 wouldn't either).
For me, that's great, I live in a 1 bedroom flat, I do not enjoy working from home because I have enough space for 1 laptop and no screens, and really, I need at least 1 extra screen. In the office, I have 2 screens, a comfortable table and better lighting. So much better for me.
I admit that I probably wouldn't feel quite so enthusiastic if I didn't have the 2nd shortest commute of my colleagues, but basically, I get up at 7 am 3 days a week and 8 am the other two. This system works for me.
The other bonus is, because other people don't like being in the office, and I've chosen Monday and Friday as two of my days, there's so few people at work when I am that it's almost as quiet as my flat.
