Fucking good. In office is unnecessary and unproductive for these kinds of jobs.
Even as someone who has to go in for my job, I’d love to have all these people off the road, no longer cluttering traffic.
hell yeah. now that people have experienced the radical paradigm shift of WFH there’s no way for it to feel right anymore having to go in every day and pretend like it means something
Good fuck these corporations
For people who DON’T need to be in office, forced RTO is stupid because it wastes commute time.
For people who DO need to be in office, forced RTO for others is stupid because it creates more peak hour traffic and lunch rushes, making their own commute/lunch suck more.
For urban planning, forced RTO is stupid because again it increases road usage and creates unnecessary clumps of high-density areas, causing inconsistent use of urban infrastructure.
For landlords, forced RTO makes sense because it props up inflated real estate prices.
Guess what’s happening now?
I’m still at home 4 our of 5 days and I’m not planning on stopping that anytime soon. Office is a horrible place to work.
I work in a regulatory position and most offices are still 80% wfh or more (our office is in the more category). We were doing a recruiting fair the other week and some middle manager from some other office had us change our presentation because it said 80% wfh. She said “our office is in 100% twice a week, we love and really value our office culture.”
There was a pregnant pause where nobody on the call said anything and I chimed in and said “I’m sure you love it”. This office has more unfilled positions than any other office and wonders why…
Yeah it comes from management because it’s about real estate: https://www.okdoomer.io/heres-why-they-want-you-back-at-the-office-so-bad/
It’s always about money in the end, not team feeling or anything like that.
