What’s the hardest thing about your work environment?

For me it’s the noise of conversations around me in an open office - I find it really hard to tune out. And being interrupted frequently when I’m focusing on something.

Oh, and hot desking (which I thankfully don’t have to do anymore but made me so anxious every day for years). 

I could go on…!

  • Im retired for some years now but considering my last post these things particular stressed me:

    Poor line mangers upwards, the being micro managed, or conversely being left floundering and overloaded without support. The office gossips who cruelly enjoyed spreading unverifiable rumours, and one in particular who outed an LGBTQ friend of mine. The high costs associated with working in the city centre, and the loneliness of working from home (it before pandemic when remote working was less common).
