You’re not alone.  My wife is going through the same things.  I try to comfort her and tell her she has had a good 2 years of working from home and all.. “count yourself lucky”   but, like you, there really is no need for her to go back in. Sure, her traffic is better.  But, that company is running her into the ground mentally.   So many people have joined on and quit.   Many long term employees are leaving.   She’s at her wits end.  I kid you not, she’s ready to leave and work for me.  She’s willing to sing 2 cycles (or so she says…). or take a role on the office side and continue to grow the business.  Which puts me back into the labor part.  I’m not exactly against it if employees were readily available.  Corporate America sucks!  Kudos to those that can do it until retirement without dying from health issues first.  I’ve seen too many people go through it.  The higher you get, the more bull [BLEEP] and stress you have to deal with.  Good luck.
