Help - need some perspective!
Started working from home a couple of months' ago. Same company but a different role on a secondment period. I was in an office local to me but I was having a lot of problems with another woman who worked there (another story!). They are now looking to close that office and move it 30 odd miles away, so I can't go back to that job.
I do 2 days in the head office and 2 at home - the days vary each week. I have a study I work out of but it's off our bedroom and DH works shifts, including nights. When I'm at home and he's working nights, I work in the dining room but today he was off during the day but working tonight. This afternoon, he decided to try and get some sleep and said to me, you can go and work downstairs.
Thing is, all my stuff was upstairs as I thought I was working up there all day and the light downstairs is not good in the dining room. Also, he had left all his "stuff" all over the table.
I tried working downstairs but there wasn't enough room and I couldn't see properly (I need new reading glasses!) so went back upstairs and was trying to be quiet.
He obviously got annoyed me and an argument took place. He said that me working from home is not working. I tried to discuss with him what he thinks I should do but he didn't want to talk about it. Thing is, I like my job, the money's not bad and I was having such a bad time before I changed roles.
Now I'm really confused. I can't go back to my old job, I've spent a couple of hours looking for a new job but nothing stood out that I like that was a similar salary to this job. I would work more hours at the head office but the cost of travel doesn't make it worthwhile.
Feeling a bit stuck at the moment.... anyone WFH that has territorial issues? After a few teething problems, I thought we had it all sorted but not so sure now
