A TikTok video posted by creator @mon_silvag on September 10, 2026, shows her defending working from home. The video drew about 115,100 views and 12,700 likes at the time of publication.
“No one will ever, ever be able to convince me that working from home sucks because working from home is elite,” the creator says. She says she will “never, ever go back to working in an office.” She is approaching five years of remote work and asks, “Why the h*** didn’t I do it before?”
The TikToker gives the example of an impromptu snack break while working. “I came down to grab some watermelon and hang out with my dog. It doesn’t get better than this”, she says.
A viewer described how remote work helped them start their career and what they want next.
