Poor thing. You want a hug?

bs I work more now that there isn't 10 people coming into my office to chat all day long or someone talking my ear off at the office kitchen.

Close your office door. And how often does someone "talk your ear off" in the office kitchen? I'm guessing once a mont, tops.

Why are there so many people crying about RTO? If you don't like it, then quit.

Seems like 1/2 the threads on this Jobs and Careers board are people whining about RTO.

You are also lying. I don't believe for a second that you are working more from home. You love to say you do though because it's a sweet gig.

Why? You're really asking that? Because people have a better work/life balance w/o a commute. And as long as they're going their work, who cares? The only places were WFH doesn't work are places with poor management.

And I'd turn around the question, why do people feel the need to be so pissed off by people being allowed to telework? It's like you get off coming on here to mock people who have to give up their balance? And that makes you a fuxxxing gross person.

Some jobs lend themselves to being done well remotely. The vast majority do not. We all like the idea of working from home because we don't have to commute and dress up. we also love to be able to slack off for a few hours and do our housework and have appts when no one is watching. No, people are not being gross for acknowledging that there is value in being in the office together. Maybe not full time but a hybrid schedule definitely helps productivity and team building.

I am not pissed about remote work. I just don't get why there is so much complaining about it.

So, get another job if you don't like the company policy. What's the point of asking why a company has decided to do X...do you think you will convince them to do Y if someone on DCUM gives you some advice?

It is stupid. I think they are being pressured because empty office buildings don’t justify rent, and giving up buildings means loss of income for restaurants, transit, etc.
frankly, WFH and LFH is the future but it will take years to wind down and for system to adjust.

Coming together in person isn't going anywhere. Keep dreaming.

Hybrid is the future.

In theory, everyone worked 5 days per week at an office in 2019...still not understanding why it is the end of the world if the new normal is only 2 days per week in the office.

I'm exactly the same amount of productive inside vs outside of the office. The time I spend chatting with whoever is in the office on the one day a week I go in, is the amount of time I'd be napping, cooking, doing laundry, etc. at home.

THIS IS WHY

Find a new job. Good luck. There are thousands of applicant for each work from home position.

NP and a lot of people I know had some TW in 2019. I think they have more TW now but definitely not in office 5 days per week.
