To dislike WFH. Am I the only one?

I work from home full time and yes, sometimes, I think it would be lovely to go in but on a rare day when I have to, I am so exhausted by the end of it that I regret my decision.
I do have a separate office and I have 1:1 consultations with people so it is easy to remain focused when my diary is full of fairly full-on meetings. If I have a relatively empty day and need to catch up on paperwork, I do struggle to focus but this would be the same if I were in the office. The difference being that I can power through and finish earlier, whereas at the office I would've had to stay and basically watch the clock despite having nothing to do.

When I worked before coid took early retirment years ago - WFH was a great prize if you could get it, but there were some that did not want this for various reasons

Alone at home and only contacts were work - heating costs, missing bater, or getting out of the house and away from kids

We are all different - our children all ork from home and two have it in their contracts min WFH is 3 out of 5 days but since covid thaty have been allowed 5 out of 5 and they aonly go in on parties, evnts or top people arriving from aborad etc and they save over a hundred quid each in fares and at least 2 hours total travelling daily and avoid the packed tubes/trains and and get up one and half hours later and able to multiask at home with appointments etc

I can't bear it I voluntarily go in more days than I need to, a lot of us do tbh.

A pal freely admits she and her colleagues all lie through their teeth and tell work they are more productive at home 🤣

Tbf one thing I will say is if I've got a huge task to focus on its better wfh as less people coming up to me at my desk to talk work stuff, but for actually sharing quick bits of info or just earwigging on work chat and chipping in with ideas etc its way more advantageous for everyone being in the office.

We did do a survey recently and a lot of the new starters did feed back that they felt a bit lost with their teams not being around in person more for guidance etc. ☹️

I have my own office space, with a proper desk, dual screens etc. It's a better set up than in the office tbh. I leave my 'office' at the end of the day and don't see any work related stuff until the next morning.

A lot of my work is writing / editing and proofing, it's a lot easier for me to do that without distractions.

What I really dislike is Teams pinging at me all the time, that is a covid development. I turn off notifications when I am busy as I find it really distracting, particularly when colleagues send line by line messages instead of just one message!

God I love it! Saves me so much money from the commute I used to do. I get all my work done in much less time so have more time for family. Am at home with my DD so much more. There is literally not a single thing I hate about it! But, everyone is different and if you would prefer to work in the office, find a way to do that.

I was never a fan of wfh, but obviously covid meant it had to happen. I did still go to the office sometimes all throughout lockdown and loved it! Would arrange with one or two others to go in, we had the run of the place along with the odd other person.

Now we’re hybrid but allowed to come in as much as we want. My office is always a hive of activity so I really enjoy going in. My only blocker is opposite to your - I hate having to get ready in a morning 😂 but I’m fortunate to have a 10 minute drive and ample free on site parking. So I can’t complain.

My dh hates it and I hate it for him.
He literally speaks to no one socially, it is all formal teams meetings.

I would sink into a serious depression if I had to work from home.

No, I hated it too. i was back in the office asap after lockdown, and most of my colleagues were too.
I can see advantages but I didn’t like it, and I was definitely less productive at home.

I would not like full time working from home, one day a week might be ok. i think the trend is moving away from full time wfh.

I love the balance- I don’t believe the more productive at home crap, especially from the parents- but let’s not change it.

so, go work in a non home environment..

WeWork or other office type space, coffee shop... separate your work/home life so you have distinctive differences. A room for your office, drive round the block, come to your workplace, when you've finished, lock the office, drive home. Sometimes it's the distinction.

I hate it too.

Can't focus. Really bored. You are not the only one. I've spoken to plenty who say the same. No one goes to my office anymore so no point going in. And I've got so depressed I can't manage the motivation to get out either.

I hate it too OP - so lonely and boring. I’ve just come back from spending a few hours in the office and got so much done and met colleagues for those quick incidental conversations you never have at home.

I love it but everyone is different, I have been nearly fully WFH since long before covid though.
