[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if we wanted to come into the office, it would take so much human resource time and effort to corral folks into the office. I also think there is a emotional intelligence component that has not been addressed.

We have co workers who spend a ridiculous amount of time talking about their personal lives. I notice this especially with affluent workers of a certain socio-demographic group. They want someone to brag about their value, income, travels etc.

When asked to stick to work conversations, people are offended that they cannot show their social class position and experiences in small talk.[/quote]

I find people who want to stick to work conversations are Remote nuts who hate RTO who want to get in an out as quick as possible or making some point. They stress me.

I am in person I work my full 8 but in office almost nine hours a day. If I want to get breakfast, chat in coffee room, say hello secretary, ask the IT guy about his weekend I have time.[b] I have a co-worker who is all business [/b]and runs out door to the second every day he is stressful. I literally asked him about his weekend on a Monday and looked like his blood was boiling. I never talk about myself much.

This guy is 100 percent against RTO and on a mission to prove being in office has no value. He won’t go company events or anything unless paid and mandatory [/quote]

You sound like an outlier in that you’re not just at work to do a job and collect a paycheck.  I don’t see how the conversations you described benefit your company.

Technology has evolved and we now don’t need to be physically located in an office to do our jobs.  Offices are from when a time people used typewriters, passed around physical pieces of paper and long distance calls were a big deal.  This is no longer the case and having a physical office so you can talk to the IT guy about his weekend is a huge waste of resources.  [/quote]
