to be tired of the jealousy towards people who WFH?

I WFH & can pick & choose & how I spend my time as long as I get my work completed every day. Sometimes I dont have a minute to myself & work far longer than office hours. At times I can be more relaxed. If I finish earlier than those in an office that's OK. It's all about efficiency & productivity in my working world.

Yep I think some of it is people who are retired etc and who have never wfh so are a bit bitter about it. I've done both in the past..wfh isn't all that either. You can be isolated and need to be motivated.

You have to admit that some of the reasons people come up with for not being able to go into the office an are laughable.

Agree OP.
I work fully from home and recently won an award for my work output. I can do chores, school drop off, exercise etc during my work day, and it doesn’t affect my work output at all.
Appreciate I’m very lucky as my company is really on board with WFH and although some ppl are in office, most are still WFH including directors

The one thing I will say is that those who do work from home, with all the perks in terms of saving on petrol, parking, train fares, childcare, lunches, coffee etc must expect things like shortages in NHS staff, local authority staff, long waits in restaurants and cafes, food shortages, delays to online shopping orders. Because those industries who can’t allow WFH for obvious reasons are shedding staff. We can’t recruit in our local authority, not to jobs which require an office presence or visits etc. It’s becoming impossible. Jobs like family support workers, lunchtime supervisiors, even OTs used to flexible enough to tempt people, but now even 9.30-3 jobs isn’t enough when they can work 9-5 at home and pick up children, do life admin, have work done in the house at the same time.
So it boils my piss when you see WFH people moan about their child’s EHCP application taking so long. Everything has a knock on effect and those sectors such as teaching, nursing,social care, social work, childcare are going to need to give their employees something back to prevent a further mass exodus.

I find it odd that people think my WFH is similar to being a SAHM. I’ve had comments about cleaning and cooking, since I’m at home…

I don't understand why people would be jealous - if they want a WFH job, they could go and get one. I've worked from home for over twenty years and never experienced negative attitudes.

These same people were happy during the lockdowns when they were furloughed and wfh peeps were having a massive juggle! Me and me Dh did a 18 hour day at work between us, home schooled two kids and cared for a toddler!

I dunno. To me it feels more like a chip on the shoulder of wfh people because office people think they are lazy skivers.

I’ve only ever wfh, since getting my first job nearly 15 years ago. The sweeping statements post Covid times from people are getting boring. WFH jobs are as varied as office ones, some are flex, some aren’t (I’ve had jobs that happily allow people to do chores etc and others where every minute is recorded, call centre type work). Everyone’s going back into the office, lots of my jobs have had no office, they’re wfh only, so not sure how that would work.

Totally agree. And a lot of the negative people don't realise that most of us do HYBRID, so we attend the office for a few days a week. Its not like you're completely "in the office" or "WFH".

These jealous people are gonna be seething as time goes on. Work from home is going to become way more prevalent if the government wants to get their way with forcing disabled people back into work - there's gonna be laws forcing employers to allow work from home employees if the job can be done that way. Mark my words there, it's the only way the government is going to come close to getting what they want.

Employers are not going to be able to disallow working from home without proving the job cannot possibly be done from home. I can't wait to see the fallout.

I work from home but don't get time to do chores etc though. I am at my desk constantly besides lunch and breaks. I have a job where I do have to be constantly present though, taking calls from clients on demand.

Still, no expectation of "busy work" . For instance now, all my work is done and no one is calling. I can sit here and read/browse online until someone calls, without having to pretend to be busy like I would in an office (which is a total waste of energy).
