[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People fail to realize not everyone has a good home life.

I work with people in bad marriages, single people with small apartments with annoying roommates, lonely people who live alone, people no place to work at home, people with abusive spouses, young people who live at home with parents and so on and so on.

They were thrust into WFH against their will. It is unhealthy for their mental health to be home.

There has to be a balance between WFH and RTO outside of business reasons. [/quote]

BS. What other social problems am I supposed to solve at my loss? I'm sorry but we can't be responsible for everyone. How about stop the abuser, not force everyone to dress up and commute to hide the problem. [/quote]

But whose problem is it? I was at a conference last year and lessons learned WFH was a topic. One managing director at Wells Fargo and a EVP at Bank of America noticed lots of staff and lower level people had cameras off. Both of them were loving WFH in their huge houses or vacation homes.

But when staff turned on cameras they found staff in unfinished basements, 100 degree attics, working off kitchen table in crowded apts, being forced to spend 24/7 on dangerous neighborhoods. Aside from family life not everyone has a good WFH set up.

I live in a nice big house now with a dedicated office and did WFH. No problem.

But in my 20s I had a non AC tiny studio apt with no internet service. I would have went nuts sitting in a single tiny room all day by myself. Plus I had no room for a desk.

But my office I had a cube, high speed internet, company cafeteria. AC, free coffee, printer.

Companies are not paying us to WFH. I never got reimbursed cell phone, WiFi, printer paper, heat, AC or for office equipment I bought.

They really need to deep dive in this. I think people in crappy conditions don’t speak up [/quote]
