[quote=Anonymous]While my company hasn’t articulated it quite so directly, these are the key reasons:

1. Collaboration is critical, and newbies need in person time with colleagues (on their team and beyond) as well as their supervisors (ffs!) to develop relationships and acclimate to the work culture.

2. Supervisors who say everything can be done remotely are shouting themselves in the foot. When leadership hears you say that, they immediately believe you are not equipped to be a leader. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. Plus, they think you are selfish, lazy or both.

3. Introverts are suffering as evidenced by the uptick in requests for mental health accommodations or STD. And everyone (especially extroverts) lost soft skills and are acting out in new and bizarre ways.

4. Some people simply aren’t producing. You might not recognize this because leadership was all warm and fuzzy and very accommodating during the pandemic, so now many of you foolishly believe it’s fine to work from home without childcare for your infant/toddler/young kid. It’s not. Some of you think just passively replying to emails is working. It’s not.

Nobody needs to be in the office 5 days a week, but please stop whining about coming in 2-3 days/week. And please don’t just sit behind closed doors when you are in the office (ffs!).[/quote]
