I feel like I have the opposite problem. I started my new job at the tail end of the pandemic in mid-2021. It's been fully remote and I have never worked more than 20 hours in a week. Most weeks I can get everything I need to do in an average week in 2 days tops. Co-workers are great and the company's doing great but I have such little to do that it's kind of ruined my work ethic. I'm partially scared of leaving/going to a new job because I don't know if I can handle doing 40 hours again.


How do you feel about up skilling, contribute to open source, or even launch your own side projects? Or do you use your free time to enjoy life more?

I’d like to think I’d use the time to write a book but I’d probably just to chores around my home instead.
