Bureaucracy at its finest.

Of course, I’m referring to the bureaucracy that occurs in the workplace. Anyone who has ever worked in a large corporation understands the agony of dealing with countless higher-ups and always being busy sending reports to someone. Even if you keep everyone informed, there is no guarantee that you will not fall through the cracks. However, it doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. As in this case, the employee falling through the cracks was actually a good thing for his day-to-day life.

I understand that people have different perspectives on remote work, but I and many others believe that working from home increases productivity. This, of course, does not apply to everyone because some people require that countermeasure to stay focused, but for many of us, remote work is a godsend. After all, who doesn’t feel more at ease at home, and you don’t have to worry about your boss constantly looking over your shoulder? Time management becomes a little easier as well. And the poster of this particular story would undoubtedly concur.

The story is much more interesting than the title would suggest.

And while there are many things happening in the background, this is the summary of it all.

OP certainly appreciated working from home as is the case for many people.

However, office work was taking a toll on him so he decided to get a doctor’s note.

What was supposed to be a few days dragged on.

And surprisingly enough, he is still working from home.

That is how he ended up working from home.

But that is not to say he isn’t enjoying this to the fullest.

I’m actually relieved that this happened to him. He clearly enjoys working from home, and I can only hope that the dreaded meeting is postponed for a long time. As someone who has previously worked for a company, I can confidently state that working from home is far more relaxing and enjoyable. Not only that, but the fact that he is doing better in terms of health is also encouraging! I’m curious as to what will happen when his superiors learn of his remote work. However, he has kept everyone informed about his work, so I hope everything works out for him.

People in the comments also had a lot to say about this.

I would have to agree with this assessment.

That is way too much work.

As long as OP is happy, that is all that matters.

A very apt way to summarize the situation.

A lot of things need to be considered when it comes to comfortable work environments for many people.
