[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What all companies should do is have 6-2 shifts and 10-6 shifts.  That way one parent can cover the morning duties and the other parent can cover after school duties.  [/quote]
This is what will end up happening. After people stop panicking, and DOGE doesn’t change the standard workday to 8-6, people will flex their office time (within reason, they aren’t going to let people start their day at 4 am or noon) to meet their needs. It can be done. Yes, it sucks more than WFH when you have kids that need to be shuttled places after school, but one parent starts their workday at 7 and leaves at 3 and the other starts at 9:30 and leaves at 5:30. It’s really ok. [b]We all did it before, you can do it too[/b]. [/quote]

But why should we? If there was a business need then sure, but why should we go back to the old way of doing things? In what other aspect of life are we ignoring technological advancement to go backwards in time?

And I’ll be a honest, I don’t want to do this. This isn’t a lifestyle I’m interested in. I didn’t commute 5x/week even before COVID. I also don’t want to work for minimum wage, work for a crappy boss, etc. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for employees to say this is a dealbreaker for me.

This may mean looking for another job, which you clearly don’t care about, but I don’t need some patronizing reassurance that I’m able to do it too. Like I know I am capable of all sorts of stuff I don’t want to do. Those of us with options to work elsewhere can say no to this.[/quote]
Then instead of bellyaching on DCUM start your job search. You can ask why we have to RTO when the current state of technology allows us to work just as effectively from home until the cows come home, but it is not changing the fact that RTO is happening for the feds. It is what it is, and engaging in debates about “why do we have to” is meaningless with the incoming administration, that time is better spent on your job search.[/quote]
