I've come to realize that the flexibility of working from home is truly unparalleled. It eliminates the necessity of commuting, gives us the freedom to work from any corner of the world, and liberates us from the traditional confines of office life. Remember the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s when we were shackled to our office desks for long hours? Those days are far behind me now.
The advent of remote work has been a blessing. As we look towards the future, it's my fervent hope that individuals are afforded the choice to decide their preferred workspace. Even as companies consider hybrid models, with employees spending a few days at the office each week, the primary concern should be a manageable commute.
The benefits of remote work extend beyond the individual - it also has a broader societal impact. Fewer commutes mean less pollution, which is a significant step towards environmental preservation. Moreover, it fosters better mental health and often leads to increased productivity.
While I understand the allure of office life for some - the camaraderie, the impromptu brainstorming sessions, even the simple act of parting and later coming together to share experiences - I firmly believe that this should be a choice rather than a default expectation. The traditional office lifestyle is not for me anymore.
Perhaps it's time for you and your husband to redefine your lifestyle. You might consider seeking new, independent experiences and ensure that you find time to enjoy them separately. These individual experiences could then become a fresh source of stories and shared joy in your relationship. Working from home has its merits, but I believe the traditional office life, with its own set of advantages, should be a choice, not a forgotten norm. My two cents.
Completely agree that flexible work structures should be a choice - there are untold benefits, including in our case. For me, I'd like the hybrid option! Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts :)
