They want women and minorities out of work force. Only men can benefit for RTO….especially the ones who have stay at home wives, moms, house help. They can commute and be the office from 7 to 7

Some think a woman's place in the house is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Some do not realize that WFH is not the female dream you envision it to be. Working from home often means women doing more work, more responsibilities, more multi-tasking. You replace the commute time with a FULL time worker, cleaner, cook, mother. Impossible to do everything and be everything all at the same time.

I'd much rather go to an office an have clear boundaries. I worked form home for 6 years, and went back to an office on purpose during Covid, before my kids were even back in school. I was quickly burnt out on being all things at all times to everyone.

Fake news. I am a woman who went from 100% WFH to 100% in office. I still have all the same responsibilities with 10 hours less per week to do it due to the added commute. So at the end of the day what ends up getting cut is free time with family.

You have a different perspective doesn’t make the other person’s viewpoint and experiences fake news.

Are they even workers at all, or just jealous unemployed ppl?

Many did. And have been picking up slack for months/years.

Just because you are in the office doesn't make you more productive.

No, this is in our family too.

I WFH, but I don’t slack. I get my work done very quickly and ask around for more. It causes me constant low-level anxiety when I’m not actively on a project because I can’t bill to just sit there so I need to go find something productive.

DP. You have a different experience. Still not fake news. It’s easier for sure with a remote parent, but that parent can end up taking on more hands on and hands off parenting responsibilities and that can definitely lead to burnout. It is better when both parents have flexibility.

I mean it’s not a productivity issue because you really could just install software to monitor people working from home. And there are whole industries where they fire people freely and where there is a lot of WFH

That’s not what is happening moron. It’s not like one parent is being recalled while the other is getting more remote days. It’s a net loss of 10 hours for the family. Who gains? I guess CRE, oil and gas, car manufacturers.

Ditto. Which is why WFH only works when you have a strong incentive or performance management system.

We don’t need to hypothesize reasons. We literally know RTO was implemented to cause pain and attrition. Anything around the makeup of those who leave is a fringe benefit.

I got in average a 120k bonus pre WFH and now a 30k bonus as I have luxury of WFH 3 days a week.

Somehow my expenses did not fall $7,500 a month.

It’s a net loss of 20+ hrs for the family

Exactly. And all the more reason not to expect men to do some of the work of raising their own children, keeping the household running, etc.

Beaver, wait until your dad gets home.

Men don't benefit especially if they are involved fathers and loving husbands. Mine was wfh long before covid and has ROT come Jan. Its been a nightmare.
