I know there is a WFH thread but I mean this more generally than the specific things about it that are driving me to drink!
Pre pandemic, I would have said that WFH was a positive thing that employers should absolutely allow, reducing traffic and therefore pollution, allowing more quality time at home.
Now, I’ve changed my mind.
I think it’s having a negative impact on public transport, which in turn will lead to redundancies and reduced public transport, which is bad news for those who can’t drive. It is also having a knock on effect on things like coffee kiosks and sandwich bars.
Then, I’m not convinced that WFH is as productive as people think. I don’t know what’s going on with DVLA for instance but I am still waiting for a driving license I sent off for three months ago and you can’t get through on the phones.
It’s turned family homes into workplaces and thus impacts everyone. I’ve had some really stressful and unpleasant times because of it.
And I do think it’s not very healthy. Dp rarely leaves the house without me, has gained weight and falls ill all the time as I just feel he isn’t gaining any natural immunity.
I’ll probably be flamed by all the WFHers now
