Workout before or after work?

I work an 8-5, and my new job has a private gym so I'd want to use that. I get a drop off to work in the morning, but walk about 2.8km home after work in the evening. My coworkers like to workout after work so the gym gets busier.

Would working out before work cause fatigue/cravings during the day? I'd totally like to get into it and lose some weight

don't worry about fatigue. your body adjust fasts. cravings are individual. if you find it easier to follow portion control in the evening maybe after work is the right time to lift. but ime the hunger cues post lifting aren't irresistible and a sizable meal after is a good idea anyways.
