I'm a software engineer, recently started going back to the office, by choice. The two years of lockdown turned my pleasant home office from a place to relax and listen to music to a cage. Minnesota cabin fever, all year long.

Being stuck at home also negatively impacted many of my hobbies, so my mental health took a hit from that as well. I feel like I'm starting to crawl out of a hole.

I do think my employer could have been supportive of working from home, pre - covid, but no way. Too much freedom and autonomy for the worker bees.
