Does Back to Work Work for You?
Am I being a bit satirical and hyperbolic with these back to work memes? Of course. I mean, we’ve worked in offices before, it’s not like we all landed on Mars and need to rebuild society.
BUT, return to the office is a big change. So if you are feeling stressed about back to work, you aren’t alone. And if these memes gave you some stress relief, awesome!
And most importantly, if you want to keep working from home and need support in making your work from home case or finding a new job, let’s talk. Remote work is definitely a possibility and I’d love to help you get there.
