[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I’m going to RTO, I refuse to do anything after hours from home, either. If I’m not allowed to WFH, that means I’m not required to.[/quote]

Does this apply only if you are required to go in five days a week?  What if it is 2? or3?[/quote]m

On any of the days I’m required to go in. It’s basic logic. If WFH is bad, then it’s bad & I shouldn’t do it. [/quote]

If your employer is allowing you to do both WFH and work onsite, how are they saying either is bad?

So if you go into the office on a Monday, you shut it down completely after 8 hours, but if you WFH on Tuesday you'll put in some extra hours in the evening?  Just trying to see how this plays out in practice....[/quote]

Not that poster, but yes - that’s basically what I do.  Each day my hours are roughly the same - up at 6:00 and turning my attention to family/other commitments at 5:00.  On days I go into the office I spend about 1.5 hours of that time commuting.  that’s twice a week now, but there are rumblings of requiring 3 or 4.  [b]So the org is saying he’d rather not get those extra hours from me so that they see my face[/b]. [/quote]

PP asking the questions, and I am sincere when I say this approach makes sense.  I also think that organizations are well aware that is the trade-off they are making in many cases...[b]and are indeed OK with it.[/b][/quote]LOL. That is a very naive take. Organizations have become used to their employees being way more available due to WFH. You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think they will still have expectations that people be similarly available. You can say I’m not able to work from home and they’ll say you can stay here to do the work. RTO doesn’t mean companies hired extra employees to pick up the extra work that has been dumped on workers that were available for longer periods of time during WFH.[/quote]

No, YOURS is the hilariously naive take. New COVID WFH staff as a whole have been far *less* available. Oops! Got to start dinner, do the laundry, pick the kid up from school, pop out for a run or some Netflix.

That’s why so many are being called back, and many more will be called back.[/quote]
