I think they expect people to be happy to see each other and create a nice atmosphere at the office. I don't think they realize how many of us are dreading going back and will not be interested in talking to anybody unless absolutely necessary. They want excitement, but they'll get an atmosphere that's more depressing than an Italian neorealism movie.

OMG; stop the whining. Get with the program or quit. Working here is a voluntary activity. No one is forcing you. If the negatives outweigh the pay and benefits...move on.

I have personally spoken with each of my coworkers. Exactly zero have any desire to be in the office next week.
The only ones not currently looking for jobs outside the bank are hanging around only because of time served.
Yeah, next week is gonna be a blast!
Agree that forced corporate enthusiasm is lame, but going back with a negative mindset is self-defeating. Call LifeCare to talk about your personal problems or find another job that suits you better.
Sounds like a bunch of cavemen work at Wells considering how scared they are and must be hermits of some kind

We'd still be cavemen if everyone took that approach.
Such a lame post
