Three and a half years after the start of the pandemic, employers are getting serious about increasing the amount of time workers spend in the office and trying new strategies to overcome resistance.

This would feel less gas lighty if they were just open about micromanaging, their 10yr commercial lease, keeping up appearances for older clients or whatever. Instead they say the most laughable shit
Like mother fucker 90% of people eat some sad meal prep shit at their desk.
My bet is that in 2 years we’ll see a stark devide in talent in traditional Vs remote first companies with the latter getting pick of the litter so to speak.
This is already happening. Remote roles are getting the cream of the crop while in office roles are getting the left overs.
People that are good and know it are not applying to in office jobs. Why would they sacrifice an additional 5-10 hours a week for no more pay and shitty open offices?
I mean the problem isn’t even ‘no more pay,’ you are paid less if you work in an office. All the resources you use to commute cost more money than internet, which you’re paying for anyway if you’re alive in current year. Why would you willing take a pay cut, commit yourself to 5-10 unpaid hours of commuting, and ensure that you produce worse work and are less productive and producing that work while working in the most mentally and emotionally draining environments to ever be devised?
Not to mention that every fully or even partially remote role I’ve had let me expense some or all of my Internet and cell phone.
with the gas and mileage and undoubtubtly going out at least once in awhile or for some folks all the time.
It is nice having lunch with teammates. It’s nicer having lunch at home in my sweats.
I much prefer having lunch in my PJs with my cats to having lunch with my coworkers.
walking the dog at lunch is a massive.
The irony of Zoom encouraging back to the office.
Eating al desco is depressing, and pretty gross.
The worst is when someone comes up while you’re eating and is like “hey you have a minute?” and then you have to say no fuck off as professionally as possible.
Just masticate enthusiastically in their face
Ohhh mastiCATE. Got it now.
I have zero interest in lunch with my coworkers and I’ve pretty much always felt that way.
