    That makes so much sense.

    My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.

    After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.

    My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you’re in the office, others are out so you’re still not forming relationships.

    It would have worked better if it was an “everybody works from home Monday and Friday” but that removes all the flex…

    Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I’m significantly happier.

    My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.
