[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides the OP and the gift card foolishness there is so much resentment for remote workers in this thread. What kind of grunt work are those of you who are in the office required to do? Why do you need to be onsite? If you hate it so much can you switch to the remote side since your company supports it?[/quote]

Grunt work: showing up for client meetings, working in the office on physical products, networking (remote people pretty much do ZERO networking. Whenever they need something, they ping everyone else and ask where to go. And they don't even retain any of that knowledge because they don't care to remember any of us), team building, mailing out stuff to remote people (laptops, products, headsets, etc). Remote people never have to stay late, they just all disappear at like 4pm. They just aren't integrated into our mission, nor do they care about their work as much as the rest of us.

Even setting up for the holiday party is a lot of work. It's fine and I enjoy it, but do remote workers have to set up? Nope, they just show up and then immediately leave.

I do not want to be remote and I really like hybrid, but don't think there's not a lot of resentment towards remote workers. [/quote]

I think a lot of this is a management fail: if the job actually requires face to face meetings then remote workers can't have that same job: duties should be different. And my (great) boss has cracked down on people who ping everybody with questions they ought to know the answer to.

But I also think it's weird to say you don't want to be remote but you resent remote workers. That feels like you want them to prefer the same things you prefer. [/quote]
