    “We’re not asking we’re informing” lollll

    Having said that… People working from home has been the biggest frustration in my work for the past three years. I specifically picked a company where people like to come in, and are required to for at least three days. I want to work with people, not anonymous voices with cameras switched off not responding to calls and messages (I’m sure they’re all hard at work lmao)

      Incidentally you’re one of the reasons the majority of workers don’t want to return to the office.

          Oh and they will. And when you’re company loses the best and brightest in the field because no one enjoys spending time and money going to the office. If it’s that important, why doesn’t your company pay for everyone to drive to and from work (covering gas, car repairs, and allowing employees to clock in when they start their commute.)Also, pay for everyone’s lunch since they have to be there.

      I’ll say this. What works for you doesn’t always work for everyone else, and I feel like that’s kind of the point. The CEO/CFO cares more about bringing people back to the office than they do about their employees. I hear you, it’s healthy to interact with people, and If that’s what you need awesome. But a lot of other people don’t feel that same way. I think it’s going to take tolerance on both sides for this paradigm shift to be a success.

        It depends on the kind of work you do. My work is very collaborative, and despite trying I’ve not found online collaboration as effective.

        It doesn’t help that the people working from home seem to have very different priorities.
