How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? (kbin.social)

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

Still full remote. Don't miss the office at all, it's loud and antagonistic. Tired of people talking about me behind my back (in front of my face, but in a language they think I don't understand).

Some of the bosses and managers think I should be back in the office at least half time or so, but my immediate manager knows I still get all my work done and am way happier and more efficient at home, so he's in my corner and doesn't want me to give up more than a day per month or so.

Wow! That first part sounds awful! I think I would explore other options even if working from home.

Those people aren't from my department, so I haven't interacted with them in years now. There's no reason to let them spoil a good thing. A boss who's truly and fully in your corner is a rare and wonderful thing!

Man, fuck that! Not only are those people rude, they're also stupid as hell.
