Why are rental cars all double the price from a year ago? Why are all Airbnbs rented, also for double or triple price now?
The reason people need to be in the office is accountability. That you are working.
Let's be honest, productivity at home is not even close to productivy in office.
She knows it, you know it, we all know it.
Enough BS people. Show up for work or expect to be fired, in not too far of a future.

This is simply not true. My productivity is higher at home. However, companies have to have good accountability programs/software. I have to submit a time sheet that isn't required for getting a pay check (non-exempt), but it is required for showing which projects and clients I'm working on each day. It's also used for renegotiating contract renewals.

That is what you think. Have your boss post what he/she thinks.

And I'm not even a rah-rah 100% telework fan. I think there are benefit to in-person inclg onboarding new employees, networking & certain larger group brainstorming/in-depth debates. But the least of the problems of telework is the absence of 3 minute meetings. People text, slack, email, call ... and yes, I've had dozens of 10 minute Zooms! Does she have any idea how a modern office works?

What she is saying is that you have a job to do and you are not doing it. What she knows is that your are not working near as much as you used to in the office.
This spoiled crap of working from home needs to end. You are all fine with food service workers working in person the whole time. To serve YOU! But, you refuse to do the same in your profession.
Can't wait for all of you spoiled people to get fired.

I've been working at home for five years. You need to expand your horizons.

Nobody cares what you've been doing. Those that are new to it, are not doing it the way CEO wants them to do it.
Guess who decided who is fired and who keeps on working in private industry?

It's easier to get rid of one CEO, especially after this screw up, then it is to get rid of 200 people working from home. CEOs are not exempt from layoffs and firings.

Reminds me of this guy who got caught driving on Zoom.

We all know people are taking advantage and not really focused on work while 'at' work from home.

But you can show up for work at home, too. If people are getting their work done, why do you care if they are doing it from an Airbnb? What does it matter?

I have found it is actually much easier to gauge whether a worker is engaged and accountable when they are remote, because you have to rely on metrics like whether they meet deadlines, whether they show up to conference calls, and whether they are responsive and available when you need them. So basically, are they doing their actual job? If not, you find out pretty quick.

But in the office, this gets really muddied. If someone is sitting at their desk most of the day, but they are missing their deadlines, it's like "hmmm, is this a problem of them not having what they need or are they just messing around on the internet all day?" It's easier for someone who just messing around online and has poor organization skills to just say "Oh, this is taking me longer than I thought" and kind of weasel out of being productive, because after all, their butt is in their chair for the expected length of time every day.

Remote work makes work more like an actual job, instead of an attendance report. It's strips away a lot of the stuff that doesn't actually make the company any money or benefit anyone. It's truly the most efficient way to accomplish most white collar work. People who fight against it are really showing that it was never about productivity or getting work done for them. It's about controlling people.

LMAO, my producitivy will be cut by 2 hours when going back into work because of getting ready to work. commute etc..

Umm, you do realize that time isn’t considered working time. Nor is the time you spend during your current work day helping kids with zoom, doing laundry, and cooking.
