I work retail and what is this? 😅

Not having a bidet would make me more than rude.

I’m sure that giving up sleep and time with loved ones or personal activities, and exchanging it for a stressful commute has got nothing to do with it.

I might be an outlier, but work from home for 4 years straight was devastating to my psyche.

It greatly contributed to my basically turning into an agoraphobe, my social confidence being depleted, and a bunch of other deficiencies.

Since returning to flexible office hours, I'm a hundred times happier and healthier.

Yeas, we all have different needs, some work better in an office environment and some don't. I think the important takeaway is being able to choose and having a workplace that support individual choices.
