[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of work do people do where you can concentrate with many, many people around you speaking all of the time?  A call center?  This can't be anything that involves any sort of mental concentration.[/quote]

You can't. It's a GD disaster and a waste of a day each time I have to make the godforsaken trek into the sh!tty office.

Our RTO was issued for Sept 2023 and then shortly after they realized, oops, they got rid of our office space during the pandemic. They found a floor for us in a nearby sister building and changed our RTO order to be hybrid. Only the 2 highest bosses get offices. The rest of us get the use of a desk that day while in the office. We have strict set hybrid days to make sure there are enough desks for everyone. We don't have a conference room because that was taken to make a ghetto kitchen since this floor originally shared a kitchen with the floor below, but we can't do that because of security issues. Our "kitchen" has a full-size fridge, 2 tables & 8 chairs, a coffee machine, a water cooler, and a microwave. We have no dishwasher or sink so we have to wash our mugs in one of the 2 unisex bathrooms.

There's zero privacy for anything and people eventually forget this aspect, so you get to learn which coworkers are the nose pickers and the scab/skin pickers. So gross.

I get zero work done the two days each week when I'm required to be in the office. My favorite is how the team hybrid schedules don't match, so half the team may be in the office and the other half WFH that day when a meeting is scheduled, so you have 3 people in a giant room on the same Teams call as the rest of the people in their homes.
