Message: [QUOTE="J187Money, post: 3965273, member: 718"] I left my job in NYC on June 1 of last year - ran around and travelled most of the summer and fall - got a new job around Christmas and have been in the office nearly every day - I don't like working from home - mentally just doesn't do it for me. From Mid-March last year to June 1 was torture working 12 hour days from my house with no letup. We are pushing back to office 2 days a week T/TH for most people. There are just some things that are hard to do remotely (white-board sessions, etc). Was super difficult for me to onboard and get to learn what my staff are doing on a daily basis - I am really the only one in my dept that is in the office until the week of May 24th. We just moved from Milford to East Haven - got more space and a pool - I am not in NYC anymore so moving further out doesn't matter. And after all of the travelling I did - I got COVID in the house from my son who got it from his GF. Got lucky - Milford is super hot and East Haven isn't - so got a great deal on both ends. Wasn't easy though. I don't think 5 days a week in the office is ever going to happen for most people, even though I will gladly do it. When I need to be at home for something I will work from home, but otherwise the office is much more efficient for me. Went on my first business trip last week (Tampa) and headed to Phoenix next week. Nice to get some sense of normalcy. [/QUOTE]
