We might as well been coworkers. Crazy just how sheepish all the big execs are. Productivity was supposedly up at the peak of the WFH policies, but now suddenly it is so important to go back even though there is not enough room for everyone.
I don't miss being crammed into a pretencious office being surrounded at arm length by 5 other people, some of which at loud as fuck and spend their days on zoom. I really won't do it anymore, I don't care if I starve.
45min commute which cost over a hundred per month and still require me to walk in shitty weather, already soaked in sweat half the months of the year, so I can walk in and plug my shitty laptop on a dock and ultimately still have 99% of my work done remotely and on zoom on my shitty webcam because half the office is home and three quarter of my colleagues live in a different country.
Not to mention that COVID season is already starting up again and with things like long COVID still not being understood fully it's absolutely ridiculous that people are being herded back into an office.
Yeah, somehow it was just declared over. I hate the conspiracy crowd as much as the next sane person, but it is pretty crazy how quickly the public opinion can be manipulated regardless of reality.
Sounds about the same. We heard "record profits" every year during the pandemic when everyone was home. Suddenly it's "we're better together" and "culture."
A coworker in another city going into the office the company has floors in, who is also the only one from our team there: "nothing is different. I'm still on zoom all day."
