🧠 Foo Anyone else starting to feel burned out by working from home? Most of my friends seem to be loving it, but I feel like I'm in the minority and enjoy going into the office a few times a week.

Joseph Gilmore I just started a new job and starting remotely has been pretty hard for me. I think my ideal would be coming into the office 2-3 days a week. I definitely focus better in the office but that might be because I don't have a good setup at home

👁️ Mbladra I'm going to be in a similar situation.. did you at least get to meet them face to face? Or has it all been over hangouts/zoom?

Joseph Gilmore I went in the first couple of days and met some people. But other weren't in the office to meet.

👁️ Mbladra Ah I see. Any advice for someone about to start remote?

Joseph Gilmore Get a good desk/chair and place to work if you don't already have it. I've been working on the couch and the kitchen table and it's pretty bad for my posture and also makes it harder to concentrate being in the middle of the house. I live with roommates, I don't know about you. Social wise I'd say just engage some small talk when you can here or there before/after meetings. Definitely introduce yourself at the start of meetings if there are people on it you haven't met.
