People used to meet their spouses at work. With WFH it will be hard for me to (new-ish grad here). |
The time you save in commute can be used to explore hobbies, and there is where you meet people who may share more passions and interests with you than workmates.
Also, you don't have to deal with HR that way. |
That is a dumb reason to demand that other people work in the office if it's not necessary. Get a hobby or two, join some rec sports teams or volunteer somewhere. Most people I know, including my parents' generation, didn't meet their spouses at work. They met them in school, through friends, etc. |
Ha ha. You're right, OP. Many people meet while working. My parents didn't work for the same company, but they were in the same building and met in the elevator!
|
There are so many (better) ways to meet people, OP! |
HARD pass! You never want to date coworkers. Don’t shit where you eat. |
Most people don’t meet their partner at work. You can still go to happy hour or on dates working from home. You will probably have more success with apps anyway. |
Lol nice try boomer. That’s a ridiculous reason to come into the office. Just find a job where you can work in an office and leave the rest of us alone. |
Some of us went to non-flagship state universities with shitty dating pools, have somehow landed at “prestigious” companies and are hoping for a second chance. |
OP is a Gen Z with a boomer brain and mind. Your parents may have met at work but today's generation meets their spouses online and on social media.
WFH doesn't affect your generation at all. Stop thinking like a boomer. |
I’ve heard of more messy endings/drama when colleagues hook up compared to Happily Ever After marriages.
Don’t date your coworkers. OP‘s post is just so sad and cringe. |
Thank god you’re not in charge. You just gave HR. A great reason to champion work from home! |
Sorry, but those guys will bang you and then tell others. Maybe even “pass you around” the office. They will all giggle when you walk by. I had a friend with a similar mindset when she went into finance. It was a brutal awakening for her, those men were just horrible individuals. |
I don't know a single person who has met their spouse at work. |
Actually, that's not true - the only people I know that met their spouses at work are in the medical field, where they'll be in person anyway. |
