This is a common set-up: two parents out of the house 10 hours a day, scrambling to provide care for their own children. We make it work because we have to.[/quote]
And what benefit is there to society in making more people have to deal with this?[/quote]

So your question (why should I have to suffer like you, essentially) comes across as a bit… privileged to those of us who do essential in-person jobs.

Nice try. Answer the question. What benefit is there to society in making other people’s lives worse?[/quote]

You mean: What if we are all as self-serving as you?

Who is going to teach your children? Who is going to provide after-school activities and childcare for you? Who is going to be at the urgent care when you or your child get sick?

See, it’s really tiresome for those of us who work for the betterment of society (which often has to be done in person) to hear the woe-is-me from somebody who may have to experience a bit of what we do. It’s hard to feel sympathy when your argument is “well, you’re suffering, but thankfully I don’t have to!”[/quote]

Nailed it.[/quote]

Exactly - so self serving!

Are you enjoying talking to yourself? How about answering the question you keep ignoring. What benefit is there to society in this? It should be simple to explain. Why can’t you?[/quote]

read much?? It was already answered.  The benefit is that companies get their full time attention and work product back from the folks who have not been putting in 40 hours and full attention while wfh.  No, I don't want to pay to do your kids homework, or laundry during meetings or workout between calls.  I want you to earn your freaking paycheck. Go work somewhere else if you cant understand this, [/quote]
[b]People are working at home. We know YOU can’t do it. But the rest of us are[/b]. Now, explain what the benefit is of removing WFH for people who do their work just fine that way.[/quote]

DP. No, maybe YOU are. Many, many others are doing what PP referenced. That will now stop, and that’s a good thing. Arrange your childcare accordingly. [b]Do your laundry, “start dinner,” etc, etc at times when you aren’t being paid to do a job.[/b]

And for the 100th time, no one needs to “explain the benefit” to you. You insist you’re owed that, and you simply aren’t. Don’t like it? No one’s barring the door.[/quote]

What about people sitting at the office not doing anything? Why do you support inefficiencies and not want to take full advantage of technology? Do you also want the office workers using fax machines?

The office has died a slow death. Casual Friday, the laptop, the iPhone, death of the landline etc. [/quote]
