"Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my weekday afternoon naps and time away from co-workers. But I've also come to realize that before the pandemic, we were putting a little bit too much gas on working from home. Is WFH convenient? You bet your ass it is. Waking up and not having to get out of bed - or get in the shower or get dressed because I'm taking all my meetings with the camera off - is a lifestyle I've come to appreciate."
"Specifically, I need a building that can help a brother out when it comes to maintenance. I may not live in , but our super, Randy, has the apathy of Thurgood Stubbs. Which I wouldn't care about if it didn't infringe on my own work performance. Dude almost never comes to the building, and when he does, he tries to get everything done in one day. It's inefficient as hell. While I've successfully plunged a toilet"
Remote work provided convenience, weekday naps, and relief from coworkers, but also revealed downsides. Convenience like skipping shower or dressing and turning cameras off became a valued lifestyle. Prolonged WFH reduced personal satisfaction with the apartment, building, and neighbors, and exposed maintenance failures that affected productivity. Return-to-office mandates cause dread, yet some WFH aspects will not be missed. A modest one-bedroom with a nice view and frequent guest compliments failed to satisfy when work-from-home demands grew. Building maintenance is unreliable; a largely absent super tries to cram repairs into single, inefficient days, directly infringing on work performance.
