Agreed. I think because we do work for so much of our day, week, Month & therefore life, it's a real miss to not have real socialising in those hours

Also doesn't help being bombarded with virtual/video interaction in an attempt to emulate the real thing

Rather work in the office than the home

I only live 3 miles from work though. I can see people with terrible commutes wanting to keep working from home.

Lets compromise

Have a hybrid method

3 days in office

2 days at home

see i don’t care about socializing so i’m loving the wfh s*** still lol

but i’m more introverted at work. i don’t like to get too personal with people there. i have people i talk to, but i’m more the type who likes to eat lunch in the car or alone so i can relax and watch videos or something. hate eating around people and making conversation lol

this is what i would be ok with

WFM monday and friday

tues, wed, thurs in the office

if my job makes us go back in full time i’m looking for something else lol

my job announced their plan yesterday and we're doing a hybrid model

anything classified i gotta come in tho

its insane how little money I used to spend when I was working at home. it had a lot to do with lockdowns but Ive been spending a third of what Im spending right now for at least three months

that said I love my commute which is a 35-40 min walk. keeps me active bc I usually sit at a desk for 8 hours and run once a week

Needs to be flexible too as one size won’t fit all

i'm the same lol there's a middle aged dude that talked to me once and I made the mistake of being nice to him, so now everytime I have lunch he comes and sits at my table and tries to talk to me about work and figures and s***...come on bro this is my 30 min me time inbetween the days stressful bs i'm tryna swipe hoes on tinder lmao

interesting, are there specific reasons why productivity has fallen?

also just looking at the PWC report you posted, I kinda take issue with comparing WFH as it is now to WFH from 2012-2017 when it definitely wasn't the norm. I feel like if the majority of workers were WFH, we wouldn't see these kind's of disparities in bonuses. but that's just my unscientific opinion.

the only thing I do agree with is unpaid overtime. it's much easier to take work home with you when you're actually at home. but that makes me question the productivity argument as well.

for me 21k means I would be able to move out and live by myself....or save crazy. SO I would take it.

however, if I was making more (lets say higher five figures/ lower six figures), or if I was living with a GF/wife to split up some stuff, I wouldn't consider going back to the office.

Good

SAME

good for them. i’d consider doing the same if my company tell us to go back to the office full time. you must be crazy

civil engineering firm. design based via laptops and monitors, so working from home has worked well over the last year and a half

1 day at the office, 3 days at home

No reason to be at the office more than at home unless you have alot of meetings. Meetings are primarily the thing which work way better at the office.

3 days at home and 2 days in the office has been the perfect balance for me IMO

i would too

A lot of people in my field have quit (human services/social work). Low wages and workload just don't add up. My supervisor keeps asking me do I want to add another client to my case and every meeting I say no, lol.

It also required public bathrooms to be clean: and reminded people to wash their f***ing hands. Covering mouth when coughint aswell

Good good

Time to get that job at Apple or Google

less days would ensure less meetings as oftentimes those take a look of time but only a handful makes an impact

forreal yo. I envy all u wfh motherfuckas. None of these jobs out here offer remote positions. Some basic ass data entry should be work from home but they’re not, at least out here in hick county.
