Case in point: Was working on a documentary project with a company who was filled with vibrant, happy folk in February of 2020. Cut to August of 2020, working with them to release the project we saw the same people on Zoom after they had worked exclusively from home for five months and it was catastrophic.

All looked pale and demoralized, many didn't even bother to wash hair or tend to makeup. It was an incredibly depressing experience to see people so transformed and I'm 100% convinced it was due to them sitting at home and communicating via digitized voices and faces.
Perhaps in some ways, being at home is not so much the problem, but a reconnection with home life and other priorities suddenly opens their eyes to how much they actually, significantly hate their jobs. They used to have to 'go to work' and so exist in another environment, but now that they've discovered what other things they could be doing instead of being glued to zoom, work just sucks.
I'm not sure the whole problem is the inability to switch off or the intrusion of work into home (though that is a problem), I think it is also that now work is seen as literally and constantly interrupting home life, rather than originally where home life interrupted work (kids and pets video-bombing).
how do we know that wasn't the stress of lockdowns, mask mandates, potential vaccine mandates, and a whole host of other covid b.s. and not work from home stress?
