Remote Work Woes: Not Just About Coding Anymore

Ever since I started working remotely as a graphic designer, people assume my life is all coffee shops and pajama days. But honestly, it's a lot more complicated. My boss thinks I'm available 24/7 just because I work from home, and my family can't seem to grasp that 'working from home' still means, well, working! 😩 Aside from the endless video calls and emails, I'm struggling with feeling isolated and out of the loop. Office politics? Oh, they're still alive and well—just hidden behind passive-aggressive Slack messages. Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on career growth just because I'm not physically present. Has anyone else faced these challenges? How do you set boundaries and stay connected with your team? I could really use some advice before I lose my mind (or my job)! 🤯 #RemoteWork #WorkplaceStruggles #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
