[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m afraid to answer this question because the wfh crazies will attack me for being a loser, being selfish, ruining things for everyone, and on and on. Unfortunately the climate on this board won’t allow an open discussion on this topic. [/quote]
It's not even this board, wfh crazies are everywhere!

I am probably not the person OP wants to hear from, because I'm not necessarily anti-wfh. I am fortunate to have a hybrid position here in DC, so I go in 2-3 days a week depending on my schedule and wfh the remaining days. I appreciate the flexibility - i.e. going through some personal issues right now, so I can have a telehealth therapy session at 8:00 and then wfh so I'm not late. That is nice and I appreciate it. While I like the flexibility, I also think there are benefits to being in the office and working in a collaborative environment.

However there is a contingency of pro-wfh people who think anyone who even slightly prefers in-office is a monster. Did you guys see that woman a few months ago who claimed return to office initiatives are the brain child of boomer men who hate their wives and just want to see their work crush again? Like wtf? I'm a millennial woman and I think she was absolutely batshit to even think that let alone verbalize it. Touch some grass. Your boss isn't a bad person for wanting you in the office a few days a week. [/quote]

While I think that person is over the top, at my work, it is 100 percent the men who have stay at home wives who want to be in the office and have others there.  I believe they like the separation from home and they have someone already to deal with the day to day home stuff that weighs the rest of us down.  These guys also love happy hours.[/quote]

I am a SAH.  My husband has no interest in going into the office except when specific tasks need to be done.  I love having him home as I like spending time with him.  He has zero interest in happy hours or social events nor travel.  You believe wrong.  He also likes being home as he can put more hours into work and still have time to spend with the kids when he has no commute as that's an extra two hours a day for work or family or both.[/quote]

Me Me Me Me. Exactly how does any of that work? I am in the office today. Guess what leaving early and taking a long lunch. Why people like your husband home goofing off  or out jogging, at gym or whatever. Impacts my ability to do work in office.

When I was full time remote work did my job and that’s it. I was a big fat lazy bone like your husband, in person I get involved so much more. People walk into my office. I am thinking about being CEO it is only promotionI can get. Seems remote people don’t want it.
