[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to office today. Been working hard, took a staff I am mentoring out to lunch. Met CEO, CFO and COO for meetings, got a lot of work done now I have a 7-9pm board meeting. I will get10 hours of work in on top of 2 board meeting and one hour lunch

At home you get 30 minutes of work off me in a hoodie barefoot and unshaven [/quote]

I’m glad though you realize you are not mature enough, nor possess the work ethic to handle hirself in an unstructured work environment. It’s great to be aware of our limitations and deficiencies. I’m working on this with my teens and hope they grow out of it, but as you demonstrate some just don’t and that’s Ok.[/quote]

Speaking of your teen kids imagine if they attend  three High Schools all remote at same time never leaving house. Now imagine schools are in different time zones and different countries now imagine you don’t care about any of it. You keep adding more and more High Schools building a pyramid. Always going to several while always applying more schools while eventually getting tossed out old schools.  That is working from home 80 percent of fully remote people. 80 percent of remote people have multiple jobs.

I no longer enter my old home office in basement. The toggling between multiple laptops at multiple companies while always interviewing new companies it becomes depressing and confusing. At my height I was interviewing 7 companies while working full time three companies while I had Covid and on isolation from my family in a basement office/bedroom.

How do people think this is healthy?  These remote people are lonely, overworked and isolated. We all need to be back in the office

What on earth? This is not normal at all. I WFH. I have one job. I do my job between the hours of 9 and 5, with some breaks--eating, internet surfing, chores. Then without having to deal with a commute, I get my kid from school down the street, and enjoy the rest of my evening. Anyone who is trying to work 3 full-time jobs at once is no doubt depressed and overworked, because that's insane. And that's their problem, not a WFH problem. [/quote]

We did RTO my new in person job and one guy admitted  was a mortgage broker, insurance salesman, adjunct professor.

Worked the multiple jobs as WFH pays less. I was making $400k a year in person in DC pre pandemic. But laid off start of Covid so had to double up. I even made 800k one year in person.

It is so rampant I quit my fully remote job and gave my LinkedIn Info and a few people I work with connected with wrong linked in. Out contract lawyer accidentally connected with her Head of Legal at a bank in Texas. She has two linked in profiles. Both no picture both two different companies. We fired head of marketing abruptly after six months and I noticed he updated LinkedIn to show no break in service old company.

I am now back full time in person with big office, staff, dealing with regulators, auditors, investors, board back at C level. I no longer have to patch together a few BS jobs.

We all don’t get to pimp out our wives to support our  lack of gumption. I have to support my family. No different than back in 1970s men used to bar tend, drive cabs, do odd jobs after work to support family. My Dad was in a union and in a strike once my mom had to go back to work as a waitress a few weeks while dad was looked down upon as a failure

WFH and Remote alters 10,000 years of work dynamics. It is also terrible for children. daddy has no real job he sits in basement all day, mommy has to work cause daddies a loser.

Now let me get back to whipping my staff into shape. No sneaking out the door early today. Also they need to get five days of work done in four days next week. Office work is the Lords work. At home we’ll the devils playground [/quote]
