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.
Adam Pilelis 4 years ago
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.
Adam Pilelis 4 years ago
Just build a cabin in the woods already lol doesn't sound like anyone would care judging by your attitude about socializing.

I have been working remotely before the pandemic 19. So, I enjoyed it not dealing with the commute, office politics, the wardrobe, and that routine. I now work for a fully remote company...we have meetings...they are okay. I see the need to meet bc we are fully remote.

Fully remote work probably will not be a reality for most of us but there is no reason why we can't have a hybrid work environment in the corporate world.

First time I agreed with a post. I enjoyed the "me time" when I was working from home but realized I was the only one doing my share in my team so I spent most times rallying coworkers and staff members to complete tasks. I also had to showcase work at home whereas the office, I could wonder around. Hybrid is the best honestly!

Loved this trip with a creative mind. Much appreciated. For the great unwashed, however, the experience has been a bit different. Time to get up, put your big girl panties on, and pick whichever is more productive. If lounging in your PJs is an option, go for it. Your work presented here is great, if only for a quite limited audience. Now please present another set for the rest of us.

I don't know, if your entire job can be done at home on a computer is it really that important.

I would say the programmers, who write updates for the software from home, and silently keep the WFH world running would scoff at your ill thought out utterance.

Hates the deliveries, gets the deliveries themselves. A real genius over here. What really got me was the bitter attitude towards people who enjoy H-O, maybe work on your mental health instead having a corporation fulfill most of your needs like socializing and unwinding? I really enjoy not being forced to fakely smile at people who I see everyday and actually do my job in a set time frame. And no commute, glorious
