In comparison to the non-existing work-life balance in most remote positions where you are basically available 0-24? No thanks. I'd rather travel, the 20min in the morning is perfect to "wake up fully" and in the afternoon to decompress while getting home.

Pfft, I work remote and I only work 8 to 5. Don't let people boss you around

Nobody bosses me around, I just work until I'm done, and I don't need to manage my time, because I have all the time in the world working from home. Also, it feels like being in home prison, never seeing anyone you work with. Have the feeling some people exist only on computer screens.

I understand the benefits of working from home, but meeting other people in the office is what made it human to begin with. I miss chatting with people while getting coffee about non-work related stuff. I knew what was going on without needing a meeting or briefing. I could just work in the office on things I needed to work - which made it so I could go home earlier. Now I am just at home all the time, wasting my time in meetings. Idk, I wish it would work for me, but it just doesn't. I need the social aspect of the office.

Oh yeah, how I miss my co-workers have super sexist and racist conversations in the break-room /s

Not everyone has coworkers like that.
