We're back. Kind of. Clearing out the cobwebs. Much stuff broken. Much stuff coming. More details to come. So much spam.

Anyone else holding on to WFH for dear life?
Post Body

Managers and Senior Managers are starting to come in ā€œonce a weekā€ but I’m not biting. I live at least an hour away from the office and I’m not about to add 2 hours to my workday any time soon. Anyone else?

I will hold out! We will not be forced back into the office especially with how much gas costs!!!

at worst, one day a week would be the dream. If not, probably a new job would suffice.

Not everyone can afford to live close to downtown…

I agree but don’t force those who don’t like going to the office to come back. It isn’t necessary.

More power to you!

don’t even get me started about work clothes. i am very annoyed by the disparity between corp america and tech america that we’re still lagging behind times with the dress code. I’d be much more open to working at the office with a more relaxed code.

But how about their newly signed 20/30 year commercial leases? How about their investment in a new building? How about their newly hired barista? How can they justify that

Yes I agree that the earlier in your career the more beneficial it is to go in person, but effectively in this economy going back to the office is arguably a paycut nobody asked for.

The 10 minutes part is what makes it worth it. It takes me 10 mins to get from my bed to my desk. So if I had your commute, I’d do it too.

That MPG is brutal. I get 26 and I still complain. I definitely have a better WFH setup with a nice desk and chair combo

Wish I had this kind of gutsiness to offer ultimatums lol best of luck

Crazy, stay warm over there my friend.

Agreed. This is the very reason why I don’t want to give in to this one day a week.

Man the KoolAid is oozing not only in your comment but the username

As long as traffic isn’t bad, I think that’s doable.

[not loaded or deleted]

chalk that up to covid restrictions i guess

[not loaded or deleted]

I’m definitely arguing against going to work by telling them it’s effectively a pay cut in this economy

Real world as in high gas prices and traffic jams just to do the same thing at the office?
