[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we have to go back to the old way of doing things if there are new and improved ways of doing so? For everyone who's saying we used to go in 5 days a week and we had to find childcare, etc- that's right. We did, including me.  But needs and technology have evolved so if there's a better way that includes a healthier work-life balance and checks and balances to ensure work is being done, it just seems like a win-win to me. Keeps cars off the roads for people who do have to work in-person 100%, saves the government money in terms of leases/utility bills/transit subsidies, and makes for happier employees.

[b]Seems like people just don't want others to have better circumstances than they did [/b](just like when the government went to paid family leave- I scraped together enough leave and also had to take unpaid leave for my kids, but I am happy for the feds who get paid leave).

Signed- a fed with teens who doesn't begrudge anyone having a good work-life balance.

Why aren’t these posters insisting we all hand wash laundry and give birth without an epidural. That is how things used to be done! Mothers before us struggled so we should too right?[/quote]

Have you noticed all of the business leaders who have pushed RTO? Are they all a bunch of dinosaurs who just hate mid-day yoga and extra work time for gentle parenting? Wow you’re insufferable.[/quote]

Way to let the logic go right over your head.

I was literally pointing out the stupidity of the PP’s argument that we should do things a certain way because it was how things were done before. That is lame reasoning.

If there is a business need for RTO then that should be plenty easy for agency managers to articulate. But just saying we need to go back to doing something X way because “I it and now you need to do it too” is intellectually lazy and insufferable.[/quote]

They don’t owe you an explanation and you don’t owe them any loyalty. Your management can decide they want everyone to RTO. If you disagree you should feel free to find a better situation and leave. Workers and employers should do what’s best for them however they see fit, what’s insufferable is the constant complaining. Please move on.[/quote]
