[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today,[b] I had to listen to 2 people in the office drone on and on and on and on and on for 50+ minutes BSing about everything from their kids, to traveling, to school projects, to how cute their outfits are.  Worst yet, a 3rd person saw the other two BSing and also stopped by to BS.  All of the noise ruins productivity and your ability to focus when people around are so loud all of the time and are BSing to kill time between meetings. [/b]

So much more productivity at home where it is quiet and you don't have people stopping into your office to BS or people around you BS for hours per week while annoying everyone around them.  But hey, I guess you got team building and 'culture' when your employees waste 50 minutes talking about shoes and their kids while ruining the productivity of everyone around them.[/quote]

We were told that's a good thing. Called "collaboration"... fancier word for BSing. [/quote]

Also, nothing like coming back to the office, only to have all your meetings….on Zoom.  :roll:  :?

The collab stuff is all such BS.[/quote]

I was at a job like that before the pandemic. Since I lived in the DC area, I had to report into the office along with other DC people. But the field people didn't. This made no sense. [b]I traveled an hour into DC to have conference calls with people in North Carolina, Ohio, and California--who all worked from home.

This is me. I don't really interact with anyone in the office at all beyond maybe a polite smile in the kitchen. I do have to be a full time scheduler trying to find open rooms and offices to take those calls, which is a huge distraction and time suck in an office space with no assigned seating. [/quote]
