Remote work saved my sanity

My company went full remote last year and I honestly don't know how I'd go back to the office now. I save 2 hours a day commuting, can actually eat lunch with my kids, and if one of them gets sick I'm right here instead of stressed at my desk wondering what's happening at home. The work gets done. I'm more productive. Yet my boss keeps hinting about coming back in. Why is this so hard for older management to understand?

The sanity part is real. You're not in traffic, you're not wasting 2 hours a day commuting, and you can actually participate in your family's day. Hard to go back once you've had that.

Same here. My company keeps talking about hybrid and I'm dreading it. Being home means I can manage the chaos better and still get work done. It's the best of both worlds.

Remote work is a game changer for dads. I can actually be here for lunch, help with homework, be present. Going back to an office would feel like going backward now.
