Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

You actually cannot work from anywhere, even though you have been granted the right to WFH, if you move and do not tell your manager you will be let go.

90% of the jobs at the company requireme some kind of office work, OP is crying because he voluntarily chose the 10% and doesn't like it. Boohoo. I've been WFH for years and kicked @$$ at it. Now I waste hours every week driving to a mostly empty building so I can do email and Skype from there. It's the d-mbest thing ever and I hate it and those pushing it.

Sounds like a lot of bi----n for someone who won the lotterru

HOWDY, PARTNER!! 🤠

I always dream of a peaceful job like yours, but no hope for me....... because H1 workers are highly skilled and we have to train them to be so.

After complete their training, they will have to show they are the top dog.
Then we are usually the dog meat.

Unless everyday after work, we pick up new math and tech to wow the management. They will "force" us another year to train H1 workers.

Then the cycle repeats, ......or if unlucky me, at another job.

Still lucky to have your co-workers located with you? Great!! For many all the RTO means is getting the headphone on and talk with offshore folks or somebody in the “hubs” at the West and East coast. Sorry OP to see you were finding it difficult to work remote, there are always options to work all days of the week from office. Good luck!!

Ah...ignore some of these Debbie Downers. Work from home isn't for everyone and actually requires certain kind of work. I love working from home but I do notice a couple things that are a little tougher that requires more attention. In the office I would develop a ton of relationships and networking. A majority will brush it aside because they are probably very silo'ed in IT or something. However, there is something to be said about Jamie Dimon's comments about if you want to hustle you need to be in the office. I've met a ton of senior leaders in the office that I know wouldn't happen remotely. Sometimes it's as simple as just showing your face or being in person for a meeting. Some may laugh, bit that's how you work your way up

I don't think this is real. Regardless of where you work, you have to meet the requirements of your job. This sounds like someone who should be worried about their job, not how to fill their day with non work-related activities.

OP - From reading your "manifest", I thought I would reach out and help you begin a novel by giving you your first two sentences: "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

You take it from there.

There are a ton of materials available; broaden your knowledge.
Improve your abilities in a current ability while learning a new language.

You would be bi-----g even louder if you had 40 hours worth of work to do.

Read a good book and go for a walk every day.

A standing and walking desks are easy solutions.....your problem is motivation honestly...google is a thing...

Yeah this is very likely the same troll who is always pretending to be whatever group he's directing his vitriol toward that week. Whether it's vaccinated people claiming horrific side effects, the wokies speaking in his boomer stereotype of ebonics, or people working from home who are just too lazy to get anything done, it's always the same schtick.

I'm so lazy and unfocused I wrote out this page-long list of corporate talking points against wfh out of the kindness of my heart.

I have actually been able to build a ton of personal relationships working from home and have went out to lunch with a few coworkers despite not going into the office. I work hard but always make time to talk personally with my coworkers. Going into a building would not change my relationship with any of my coworkers as I am in meetings most of the day anyways. I actually probably have as many “coworker friends” from companies I worked remotely at than places I have been in person and see no difference.

"A lot of these problems are discipline problems — it’s hard to build and maintain discipline when you have no one to enforce it for you"

"I have solutions to a lot of these problems. I just don’t always have the mental strength to actually use the solutions"

OP, your problem isn't WFH, it's that you think someone else should create your discipline, instead of you.

There are a few valid points here

Probably not enough work to do.

Well in all fairness, most parts of W.F. are not cool either.
