30 Comics I’ve Made To Show The Reality Of Working From Home
I am a designer based in San Francisco and have been working from home, or more specifically from my couch since the pandemic started. I started daily drawing and posting these on Instagram to help cope with stress and blow off some steam. In these drawings, I explore blessings, challenges, and absurdities we have to deal with while working from home.
In fact, I was sitting on the couch so much in the past two years it completely broke down. For convenience, I ordered a new one and it arrived in such an enormous box that it had trouble fitting through the door. These types of everyday work-from-home situations have been an endless source of ideas and inspiration. I try to create one new drawing every day. I’ve enjoyed drawing these, and hope you’ll like them too!

Don't you love when the alarm goes off you sleep for 5 more minutes then wake up to find you've slept for 8 years.

This is one of the things I just don't understand about my current employer trying to get us to go into the office more. For years, most of us have been on teams that have members in multiple locations. We were having all our meetings via teleconference before the pandemic. Whether I'm in the office or at home, doesn't matter. I'm still not seeing most of my team in person and never have.

This is why I don't want to go back to the office. I don't ever want to feel that way again.

I have a dedicated spot I work from and I don't use it for anything else. Don't work from your couch or dining table, people.

I'm a fan of a hybrid approach. 3 days wfh, 2 days in office. Gives me 3 days to actually get stuff done, and then two days to explain what it was that got done to people who will just stare at me blankly.

That's how my highschool does it, it's very nice to be able to see my friends and also get days to do all my school work.

I propose letting people decide where they can work the most efficient and not forcing people back because some colleagues and bosses see office as a replacement for social life.

Replacement for social life? What about those of us who have moved away from where they grew up chasing a career? Where do you meet friends when you're in your thirties? You just go to a bar and start drinking with strangers? Most adults meet their friends at work 🤷♂️

No. I don't want a return to office just because some people use the office to socialize because no one wants to hang out with them if they literally aren't being forced to by a corporation. Just let me continue working from home in peace please.

Just build a cabin in the woods already lol doesn't sound like anyone would care judging by your attitude about socializing.
