If I invested in a proper desk setup I’d be ok from home. Probably not as ideal for me because I’m introverted and necessary interactions with coworkers helps keep me social. Jobs like the one I have now (in an office, but everyone just does their own thing) have definitely seen my sociability go down a little, and my TMB posting go up. The last part mainly out of boredom.
I have my own one-man business and I’m too cheap to rent office space. Wife works from home too, so we watch a lot of TV and have daytime sex, which are cool perks of working from home.
Working from home full time sounds awful. Working from home occasionally, say 1-2 times per week, is great.
It depends on if I feel motivated at my job. Later years at my last office job, if I said I was working from home for the day, I did nothing for work. Early years I was pretty productive from home.
I’m the same, pretty much. Life would eventually be miserable if I worked from home since I’m single and live by myself. The 7.5 hours of work around people I mostly like is something I will definitely miss even though a lot of them are 10+ years younger than I because retail. I’m 35, so it was nice to make some friends who weren’t married and/or had kids, which is seemingly the case with nearly all of my friends closer in age to me these days.
I don’t want to imagine how many times per day I’d be yankin my crank if I worked from home. Lots of shame.
As a rule any meeting that isn’t set up as 888-273-8268,,837369# so that I can one click it from my phone isn’t getting attended by me.
So the second and third floor of this place looks like it was designed to be a house. My office that I share with one other person on the top floor was clearly supposed to be a bedroom and we have our own bathroom complete with a shower and the view overlooks a mountain and a lake. The second floor has a full kitchen.
I will when my office mate goes out for lunch. It's kinda cold out and I want to open the doors to get a less obstructed view for the picture and I don't know how she feels about the cold.
It's a she and no. Pretty sure at 35 I am the youngest person working here. Either that or the people around my age did not age very well.
75% sure I am easily the youngest person working here at 35. I was like the third oldest person on staff at the store I left and one of those guys was just working part-time to supplement his income in retirement.
So there are only three other people who work on the same floor as I, one person on the floor below, then like 75% of the employees are on the ground floor which requires you to go outside to enter. All three people on the top two floors are married women, two of which who keep their door shut all the time and the one who shares my office is apparently a mute. WTF have I gotten myself into?
Idk. What function of marketing do you fulfill. Graphic design, viral teams, ad buys ect ? Usually marketing is a collaborative effort so it seems kind of weird you sit on a floor and no one converses. If you’re on a computer doing design work I guess it makes more sense and it fits your introvert personality. Which is funny btw. You don’t come off as one here.
I was hired as the first marketing person for the company because the CEO didn't have the time to handle it with all her other duties. I will primarily be doing email and social media marketing while contributing to the website. But I'm a classic introvert. I'm extremely shy then open up some once I get to know people. I like some social interaction but can't take it for hours on end as it is draining. I tend to have big swings between oversharing and being pretty secretive.
Just knocked an interview for a new job outta the park, feeling good about my chances - better pay - better title - small team which i prefer - great culture - they'll fly me to SF HQ occasionally which my current gig hasnt done in 3 years
My normal is wake up, get dressed, go to work, eat lunch, resume work, come home, shower, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed. In between all that I find time to play with my cats and do shit on the internet like shitpost on TMB.
I’m waiting for an offer for a position that I’d like. Seems fairly likely. Problem is that it’s potentially a 25-30% pay cut based on initial recruiting conversations. They know my ask and sounded like it may be too much. It’s a 2-3 year rewind from a salary standpoint if the initial estimate holds true.
