[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This has gone off the rails lol.

I think my point was to talk about the recent and sudden shift away from remote work.

My spouse and I were previously fully remote and things have really changed just in the last couple of weeks. We are both looking for new jobs and the remote listings have evaporated.

I was wanting to discuss recent developments on this front and what people are noticing. [/quote]

It went off the rails because your subject line seems inflammatory. Warpath? No,  a lot of us are not seeing that… I’m one of the posters who mentioned no one in my circle are back more than three days a week and most are closer to one or two or fully remote. Tons of offices are downsizing, not getting rid of space entirely, but reconfiguring for more group work, and less individuals at their laptops.

This seems to be the trend. I agree probably the hundred percent remote options are down across the country, but the flexibility and hybrid model is here to stay. [/quote]

Op here. I definitely should not have used that word. I learned from a PP that it is offensive, aside from being too inflammatory in this context.

The thing is-even a few weeks ago I would have described things the way you are. But in my world, it’s like it suddenly took a turn just recently and hybrid with in office 3 full days a week has now become the absolute bare minimum for many of my colleagues (including the expectation that it’s no longer ok to leave work at 3:30 to do kid pick up and then work from home until 6ish, nor is it ok to log on from 7-8 at home, drop kids at school from 8-9, then show up to office at 9).

Things went from being pretty flexy for me and most of my friends, to now suddenly things we’ve been doing for years are now being scrutinized much more intensely.

And before you say it’s because of layoffs-it’s simply not the case. No layoffs in our companies and none are expected anytime soon. [/quote]
