[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these posters seem to think in-office work is now dysfunctional. Yet, it was the standard/gold standard four years ago. Yes, I understand why people now want to WFH and cut the commute, but why is in-office work now less productive than pre-COVID? Is it just negative employee attitudes? Because, let’s be honest, despite all the claims of people working hard while WFH, we know there’s a lot of goofing off. WFH is like professional welfare - full pay for part-time effort. [/quote]

Agreed, I’m always the naysayer in these conversations but I feel like my team gets a lot more done in person together and we also pick up on more of the social cues in communication. My commute is definitely a negative but I so much prefer our RTO and am hoping everyone else acclimates soon.[/quote]

It depends on what your team does and if they are together in a group.[/quote]

There are millions of Americans commuting every day to sit alone in an office or cube on conference calls. It’s insanity.

I’m spending 8-10 hours a week to sit alone in a conference room to meet with people on the west coast.  I only leave the conference room to get lunch or use the bathroom.  I do not know anyone or work with anyone in my office building but my employer tracks badge swipes and fires people who don’t meet the requirement.

I now do the bare minimum and started looking for a new job. I can’t work for an employer for much longer that is making me do something so inefficient and ridiculous.
