If you love wasting time and money commuting to an office so you can send emails and sit on teams calls all day, here are a few other things you can do:
- End direct deposit of your paycheck. Get a paper check and run to the bank to deposit it so you can collaborate with the bank teller.
- End online bill payment. Write a check and mail it in for everything - Netflix, credit cards, everything. And for your AT&T bill, go down to the store every month and use a paper check so you can collaborate with your retail colleagues.
- End all online shopping. You need to buy something for someone across the country? Go to a store, buy it, then go to the post office and ship it. Collaborate with your mailman.
Don’t complain. Back in my day you had to walk 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to get a jug of hooch.
It’s called progress and evolution.
Execs are obsessed with pushing employees to accept change even when the employees are hurt by it. That is EXCEPT with RTO because the execs don’t get the ego boost of and control from being able to survey all that they command. We need to turn back progress in that case. Same goes for anything else that is more of a bottom up benefit than top down command.
