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.

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

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.

this is the reaon you are looking for.

Well there's your answer. Chatting with your co workers can have some benefit - team building, collaboration, etc.

You boss doesn't want you napping, cooking, doing laundry on company time. And I don't blame them.

Exactly! People are acting like there is 0 value in office chat. But making connections with people, seeing what they’ve been up to lately, having spontaneous side-of-desk conversations - all of those things have value.

Don’t get me wrong - I would hate to RTO FT. I love my 2-3 day/week hybrid though.

What does "downtowns are dying" mean? Even when I was in office 5 days week I would pack my breakfast/lunch every day and most of my coworkers did the same.

This this this. The two days I go in, I absolutely refuse to even buy coffee. I would have before as a nice treat and a break but now, I'm making a concerted effort to NOT "save" the downtown because it is not my job. I make a starbucks instant in the break room and wander around and have face time that they want so much.

You sound trashy and horrible. Please tell us how great your economically depressed community is in a few years. I'm sure it will do wonders for your property values. Maybe your company will move because the area is so bad and you'll have a longer commute.

I don't think it's wrong for workers RTO to look out for their own wallets. Commuting expenses and wardrobe are not super flexible. Can definitely save money on overpriced restaurants and coffee shops with their tip screens.

frankly, WFH and LFH is the future but it will take years to wind down and for system to adjust.

They should just sell the buildings no one wants to go to shitty expensive downtown to sit in front of a zoom meeting

Are you referring to office jobs? I ask because every single office worker I know spends most of their day on Teams. Even when in the office they are on Teams calls.

Right?! We HAVE To stay on teams all day and be available. Also we have to report a daily log of all the things we accomplished so anyone saying no one is working at home is an idiot.

Lot's of you are about to be called back in, just sayin'. Sounds like most of you on this thread will be happy about this since you have no life outside of your job and need to go to work to corner people to yapp about your 6 cats. Karen, we HATE you. Leave us alone.

Okay russian bot. There is no city I have lived in that had reliable, extensive public transportation. Maybe if you lived directly in the city but many of us dont.

Well paying full time jobs are evaporating rapidly.

An employee willing and capable of coming into the office is a more valuable commodity than one that isn’t.

The culling is in motion.
