I left a job of eight years for a WFH job. I lasted 15 months and they worked my ass off. 11 and 12 hour days for weeks on end and still unable to keep up. I left and took a 49% pay cut. I'm selling shit on ebay to pay the bills and no longer WFH, but I'm back to 40 hours a week.

I feel like there could be a middleground found here ๐Ÿ˜‚

I sure as hell tried. Management ultimately failed several of us.

If management are demanding that you do work beyond the agreed upon hours that's a management problem you'd have exactly the same issue if you're in the office.

If you want to work from home, don't let this experience dishearten you most of the time it isn't like that.

Thanks for the sound advice. I'd like to try WFH again if I'm able.
