Am I alone in not liking working from home?
I can, but I don't. It sounds like a great concept but...
My DH does and now my kitchen table is permanently covered in all his work stuff. Even the worktops are covered in junk. The kids come in to do dinner and have to keep quiet if he's in a call to USA for example. You can't make a coffee if he's on a call. I have 'my chair' at one end of the table but it's been commandeered by all his stuff.
There is a desk that I use when I do wfh. He has a study upstairs that's such a junk hole, he can't work in there and tbh he'd feel very isolated up there. in the kitchen, the dog keeps him company and he can watch the news at the same time if he wants to.
If I'm wfh too, he distracts me as most of his work is coaching via teleconferencing and so he's always talking and pacing up and down while I'm trying to concentrate!
Work is trying to encourage wfh, but theres no real buy in to teleconference or skype etc.
Maybe coronavirus will force people to change their outlook and wfh more?
Anyone else feel grumpy about the idea?
