5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

For those who might ask "What does that even mean?", this is what I'm reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/

Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y'all might say.

I feel like it's only beneficial for two kinds of people: those who're trying to save money or those who're trying to save their time. If you don't fall into either of the categories then WFH can make you feel very lonely and isolated specially if you live alone.

Right but who doesn't want to save money or time? My job still has the option of working in the office as much as you want. It's not an all or nothing equation.

Oh I'm not talking about your job in particular. I was mostly speaking about forced work from home. Hybrid way of working is the best of both worlds (more or less).

Also I meant WFH (not hybrid) is bad for people who want to go out and socialize but can't. Making it so they take less and less care of themselves. Obviously this isn't for everyone but a large number of people working from home suffer from this issue.
