I’m super unproductive in the office and basically glued to the coffee machine. I’m easily able to double my productivity on a good day. Some days are bad, sure. But that happens at the office as well.
That was always an issue I ran into. In a given month I might have two of three days that my brain just didn’t work. I’d stills go into the office and be absolutely unproductive. But to my boss, being in the office was the important thing. As I only got ten days of PTO a year including medical leave and business holidays I was never going to waste it on a mental health day. Was far better to sit at my desk and pretend like I was productive.
Back then I was doing work that required way more brain power than now and had extremely more ridiculous schedules than now. And I’m WFH on a team that has no desire to go back to the office.

Hope your are better now. Or at home, chilling on those days 💖

Me too. We’re spread out over the whole country and even further.
