It depends on what you want to emphasize.
If things are hectic at work but not at home, you might want to say "At work, things have been incredibly hectic for a few days now" if the overall intent was to also imply something like "but fortunately, I get to relax once I get home."
If you want to emphasize the changed state, maybe because you haven't been doing something recently
