    I feel the exact same way after working from home for the last five years. The disconnection and pointlessness along with the reduced physical activity and terrible company corporate culture have actually resulted in me seeking out a job in an office again.

    I think it may be better for mental health and physical health, depending on the company and their culture.

      Thanks man. I got some hate for my comment suggesting a mix might be beneficial and I hobestly don’t get it.

      I have much the same experience as you with disconnection and meaningfulness.

        I think a lot of the negative energy comes from folks that lack experience, and maybe are stuck in an office wanting to work from home. It definitely has its upsides, but it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows!

          I get that. Sure.

          It just seemed yet another really black/white discussion and I lost faith there for a moment
