[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since COVID, I have worked from home and it's been wonderful. I'm super productive - and also cozy at home. I am a huge introvert and I savor not having to "face" the world. And, a lot of my work is independent anyway. I wear my soft pants, I light a candle next to my desk, I can [b]dash out to pick up my kids, I have soup simmering [/b]... and I get a TON DONE.

We go back in person next week and I feel legit sick to my stomach. I wake up at 4am sweaty and panicked. The commute sucks. The rows of cubicles blow. The entire vibe is just...not home. I hate it and it's making me feel ill. Like the work but hate office culture. I don't know what to do.[/quote]

The bolded, plus laundry, a quick trip to grocery store, etc, are exactly why so many companies are requiring RTO.[/quote]

Why should employees want to give that much of their time to employers? The pandemic allowed people to see just how much of their lives were being sucked away by our gross, workaholic, capitalist system. A system that is designed to get the maximum amount of labor out of them while paying them the least amount they can possibly pay them for it. Why should the employees do more for these companies? They don't deserve all your time. None of us should have to give up such a large majority of our time working and commuting. Capitalism is a trap and most of you have Stockholm Syndrome. I'm not advocating for communism or socialism, but something has to give. The way we do it here in America is broken. [/quote]
