People need to put their adult pants back on and return to the office…
Most adults have the ability to make plenty of money without going into an office that wastes half their day dealing with pointless shit.
Are you one of those “if I cant see you I cant trust you because I am projecting my lack of self discipline” kinda people?
I have been enjoying non existent rush hour traffic this past year and I’m not looking forward to that picking up again. It’s the crazy drivers in a hurry that make it dangerous.
Hey, c’mon. How am I supposed to get all my household responsibilities completed during the day M-F if I’m not “working” from home?! The WSJ recently ran a story about how much more traffic there is now during the normal workday; there was even a woman who was “working” from home bemoaning how much longer it takes her now to run her errands during her workday…funny.
I find it interesting that the term “office” is being used to describe everyone that goes in to some sort of building for work. I have a job that finds me sitting at a desk doing quite a bit of design work, purchasing, and managing projects. Some of which was ok doing at home because I HAD to during the pandemic. Productivity was at an all time low across the board due to the lack of physical interface with other employees. I need to physically interface with the production team, receiving dept. and getting my hands dirty evaluating products and preparing projects that I’m managing to get out the door. I could then be out of town on a project for weeks on end. Moral of the story….some people can work from home. Most can’t or shouldn’t.
For the most part, people with “thinking jobs” can work from and be just as (if not more) productive as they were working in the office. The stock market proves this point. Imho, most people who want to go back to the office are extroverts or folks who need “face time” to do their work or “feel” like they are being productive. It is about how the “feel” vs. work getting done. Work is getting done now—again, the stock market proves this point. What we are living now IS normal.
This article hits hard. As someone that works in building downtown and was more than able to preform my job (in some aspects better) from it really sucks going back. Our requests to continue a flexible/remote work schedule fear on DEAF EARS. None of the older upper management know how to effectively use technology> request denied.
