34% of WFH (work from home) workers say they'd rather quit than return to full-time office work:

A new survey of WFH (work-from-home) employees suggests that many are not yet ready to return to the office. In fact, they may never be ready.

The survey found that 34% of WFH respondents say they would rather quit than return to a full-time office job.

The survey was published by staffing firm Robert Half. It involved more than 1,000 adult employees of US companies, all of whom are currently working from home due to the pandemic.

As mentioned above, more than 1 in 3 said they would look for a new job if they had to again work in the office full time.

    Keep telling yourself that. Those who have been self-employed before the pandemic aren’t buying it.

    A well rounded career nowadays should include both self employment and worktop to an employer.

    After all, your needs and desires change over the period of a lifetime - your choice of work should reflect that. Otherwise you’re just a drone.

    Oh, superman, self-reliant man...

    Nice fantasy, but you can't escape from the fact that we evolved from monkeys.

    Good luck with your life.

      Some of our ancestors evolved before monkeys. Some of the rest of you did evolve from monkeys. And, quite recently, it seems.

      The lack of a social life is due solely to pandemic restrictions. Plenty of people worked from home before the pandemic and still had a social life - it’s easier to get to know your neighbours when you take a 15 minute break and invite them over for coffee.
