Starting to find working from home quite hard

[Bellyache99]

I work from home 5 days a week. I love my job. It isn't the work I'm struggling with, but more the struggle of managing everything with so little contact with my manager. When you're in an office with someone you can ask them and other team members questions throughout the day, but for some reason with teams it feels like you're pestering them and they can sometimes take hours to get back. I have a proper meeting once a month with my manager and other than this it's just teams messages and I see her in meetings. I feel like people always complain about being micromanaged, but I almost have the opposite problem. Does anyone else feel similar? Or does this sound like a me problem? I know I need to raise it in a constructive way, but some advice re how to would be great!

I loved working from home until I got moved to this new position within the company that bought us. Now I dread every day.

It's the management style and I can say that with certainty. In previous teams we kept in communication and there was always someone to answer queries. Now I can go 6-7 hours without guidance meaning I can't do my job effectively and I'm bored, lonely, and not learning a thing!

This isn’t really a wfh problem, it’s a manager problem

Raise it that you’d like more frequent touch points during the month and whether a weekly 121 would be doable
