I thought I'd start a thread of all the bad habits you guys do from WFH that you can't carry over to the office. Mine are as follows (in no order):
Not shaving
Playing COD during down time
Jacking off 1-4x daily
Puff bars/ zyns through out the day
Smelling salts
Watching tv during work
Would love to hear everyone else's.

Not shaving and Joe Rogan podcasts
You can't listen to podcasts in the office with headphones? I don't do it all the time but it was definitely not uncommon for people to listen to music or podcasts during the day.
1-4x? Try 6-7x
Lunch time beers
*pls fix:
lunchtime nooners
This topic definitely needs more traffic. Highly relevant and I need a few more things to add to my daily schedule if there’s only a couple more months of wfh
Blasting my fucking music Shitting comfortably on my throne
+1, shitting at home is elite.
the shower at home is just so much better for dropping mud monkeys than the shower at the Equinox
Oh for sure the comfortably taking my midday shits after hitting the nic a few times post lunch
Music, podcasts, no headphones, no dress clothes, showers in the middle of the day, exercise throughout the day, can eat whenever, don't need to worry about colleagues judging you for leaving early or showing up late. Hopeful for more flexibility going forward
are you not allowed / is it frowned upon to listen to music or podcasts at work?
Watching porn. Smelling like weed.
I do half of that shit even while i'm at the office. Hands down will miss working in shorts and a tshirt the most.
Jack off 1-4x in a day at the office?
I'm jacking it rn
If the mood is right man...
Taking a 30 minute to an hour nap if you have free time between turns.Though that would matter less if things were just less busy, 9/10 times it's more about trying to catch up on sleep from working late.
This! The intermittent 30 min-1 hour naps have been revolutionary for my work ethic
Being able to go on a run/work out throughout the day. There was lots of facetime in my group...
3. Jacking off while having a video call.
7. Not wearing any pants, especially during a video call.
Maybe see a therapist...big self-sabotaging behavior vibes #WheresWendyRhodes@
Lunch beers
Posting on Reddit
WSOing
Raunchy podcasts
Music
Vaping
Drinking, toking, and using other party favors is gonna be missed.
On a serious note I really hope that some remote/hybrid model kicks in.
Most banks have seen the strength of tech infra systems and the ability to work seamlessly. If banks are serious about competing with tech and all that, gotta make concessions properly.
A model where you have to come in 2-3 times per week could work. A longer commute for those few days could be tolerable and so on.
Not to hijack the thread but pretty sure DB, MS etc have said they expect serious changes to CRE and office space.
Not a FT analyst yet but college online has been incredibly fun. Tons of weekend trips and smoking/drinking throughout the day between classes.
So... college then?
Taking a nap whenever throughout the day and have alerts sent to your phone if someone IMs you
Naps during the day, being able to run errands without the 10-15 extra minutes leaving the office, workout whenever, be productive around the house during downtime, wearing athleisure 24/7.
Aren’t the hours a lot more? My group has been getting killed
Yes, but the downtime I do have, it's nice to be at home where I can fold clothes or clean up quickly vs. having to look busy at the office and then still do it when I get home at 2am.
1. Chewing Redman
2. Whacking off
3. Leaving to workout whenever I think I'll have 45+ minutes of down time
4. Doing all non-intensive work on my couch w/ the TV on
5. Wearing gym clothes and not shaving
6. Biggest one will be not waking up until I get an email
OP, I don't know what kind of outfit you're working at, but regularly hitting the salts in the office should be encouraged.
1. Grocery shopping during work day (off peak hours in and out in <20 min)
2. Identifying early on a slow day of work, like days before holidays and sparking a mid morning spliff
3. t-shirt, gym shorts, beard uniform 5 days a week
I would not consider this a bad habit but mid-day quickies with the GF when its slow are going to be sorely missed.
Collecting my cum in a jar. It is much easier to do at home than it is to do at the CS building.
