Remote working and what it takes
Is your response adding to the conversation, or just an opportunity to vent MStrant?
I feel like some dirty laundry has been aired... 
Loryan Strant These are true challenges. And with current issues, there may be many couples in corporate roles who can wfh and do occasionally, but suddenly have to share a closer working space for much more time. It is a realistic problem to have to consider and ensure the work space for both people is comfortable, productive and allows them to continue working with minimal disruption.
MStrant I can agree, with the sudden move from occasional wfh to fulltime due to the COVID-19 crisis, me and my partner are both working from the same diningroom table, which usually works out pretty well but get annoying when one of us have a meeting with a lot of talking. Noise cancelling headphones are an expensive but essential tool for me to stay focussed and/or create some distance from the life at home that isn't work (read: cats going crazy).
Obviously, our home office setup has room for improvement and will be considered if/when wfh becomes a more permanent option.
- That's good, I'm sure your husband can take solace in the innocuous nature of the experiences you shared then. 🙂
