[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who insist on terminating TW are usually old men, people without children, or those who never did much childrearing. This generation of parents actually wants to spend time with their kids, we want to be able to cook a home cook meal several times a week, and see them after work for more than an hour, we don't want to be shitty/absent parents. TW simply gives us two hours of our lives back (at least!), time we can dedicate to our families and not commuting.

We are the generation that deeply understands why birthrates are going down. A society that refuses to support parents is doomed, young people will look at us and say "hard pass".

This has been definitely true for DH's office. The retiring Boomers seem to be the last generation hardcore into in-office work. Xers on down, not so much.[/quote]

I can’t think of anyone in my office of any age who likes full time RTO. [/quote]

Before 2025, my office had the option to work in the office or fully remote. Only around 10% chose to come into the office and of those, they were older and/or didn't have children at home. Due to such a dramatic difference, I can't imagine that RTO is dead forever. It will gradually come back when the boomers move on, though that could take another decade.  [/quote]

It's not so much that most of us like it, but we are honest enough to recognize it has benefits. Hybrid approach is probably most beneficial for all.[/quote]

Maybe to your job requires team collaboration, but our office is mainly individual contributor type work. I will admit it's nice to catch up on non related work gossip and happenings, but that is not a necessary function. [/quote]

It’s not a simple as this. What many people who wfh refuse to acknowledge is that one usually isn’t as productive working at home. I know many people, feds and private sector alike, who would go to the gym, grocery shop, get a haircut, etc in the middle of the work day (and not work later to make up the time). [/quote]

Joke is on them. The gym at our Fed office (and also at dh’s) is fab. Everyone is working out now in the middle of the day.[/quote]
