‘I can’t stand it': Hybrid employee complains about going into the office 1 day a week, leading to a discussion about working from home

When the hybrid model of working was first introduced, people discovered a new way of living. Suddenly you could do what you had been doing from your dark, grey cubicle at work, from the comfort of your home. You didn't need to take a 1-hour commute, which saved you time, energy, and actually gave you more time to work. But over time, companies have been snatching employees up and dragging them back to full-time… or have they? You tell me.

One person took to Reddit and complained about working 1 day a week from home. I rolled my eyes, thinking how lucky this person was. How on earth could you complain about going 1 day a week to work? When they described their commute, I rolled my eyes again. Boo hoo, half an hour. Seriously, you've got it good, pal. But then some people actually made some pretty good points in the comments. Check out the entire story below, and then read about entertaining bosses told by employees who had had enough.
