[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are acting like OP's post is so strange.  I think a lot of people feel this way.  I WISH my husband would go back in the office.  I have not had the house to myself in three years now.  I used to work remotely just one day a week and I lived for that day - no hubby or kids - just me for a full 8 hours.  Now I hear his phone calls all day and he also treats me as his "water cooler" talk person when I'm working, which is so distracting.  I'm an introvert so this may be part of it, I feel like I'm never ever alone and never get to fully recharge.[/quote]

People have a trigger for anyone who makes any mention of anything akin to negative regarding FT TW even if the comment had nothing to do with them in any way. It’s a tribal mentality where your opinion is somehow threatening to their argument that FT TW is what’s best for all people. Every thread is like this.  They think if other people don’t vehemently disagree with any hours in the office it will undermine them. If you start to make positive comments with which they can not argue they’ll state “well no one is saying going in twice a week is the problem” even if the entire thread had been saying exactly that. They will attack your personality, tell you that you’re pathetic and have no friends, that you’re a jerk who hates your family, that you’re lazy and want to go to the office (which is counterintuitive).

Watch. Someone is bound to respond to this with some version of what I’ve listed above.[/quote]
