To be devastated at having to WFH again

[turkeyburgers]

I work for a call centre, went back in briefly a couple of weeks ago before close family tested positive for covid (not me). 5 days sitting on my own at the dining table with my back killing me. 1 more week at home, and back to the office yesterday and today. 3 tested positive for covid again. Sent home until Monday and possibly to self isolate if I test positive. AIBU to be devastated as I hate working from home and feel this pattern will just continue to happen?

Are you double vaccinated OP? If so the new guidance is that you don't have to self isolate following contact with a positive case, once your two weeks post second dose. Or is it your employers decision that you should work from home?

Are you vaccinated?

Ask your employers to do a workplace assessment. I did this for staff member and provided her with a chair that could work with her existing table - and I was happy to do so.
Your employers may need to sort whole workstation for home - and so they should.
