I’m going to say it to you straight: if you want to be in the office five days a week, you need to get a life. And I would know a thing or two about work-life balance — I’m at the top end of Gen Z, which means I’m one of the few members of my generation who have actually experienced both sides of office work, pre and post-pandemic.
When I first started full-time work after graduating from uni in 2019, I worked in an office in east London five days a week. I loved it, but I didn’t love commuting from my Brixton flat for an hour and twenty minutes every morning, meaning that I had to wake up around 6am.
