My company asked everyone to return to the office five days a week. I work better at home and my commute is two hours each way.
For three years I worked remotely with good reviews. Last month the company announced a full return to office. My commute is almost four hours a day, and I have little time left for family or rest. I asked my m…

Be the first to rate Rate it →I have been applying for jobs for four months without a single interview call. I am losing hope.
I send ten applications a week. Most never reply. My savings are shrinking and relatives ask every Sunday what I am doing. I tried changing my CV twice, but nothing changed. I do not know if the problem is my C…
Be the first to rate Rate it →I was moved to a new team without being asked, and I feel I am being pushed out.

Be the first to rate Rate it →I started working from home two years ago and now I cannot tell when my workday ends.
My laptop is on the dining table. I check messages at night, after dinner and sometimes in bed. My family says I am present but not really there. I am tired and my work is not even better.
