Let it rip

I enjoy coming back in and talking with the young folks, sometimes I’ll just pop my head over their cube and ask them how their day is going or what they think about the weather. These young folks are the future!
@1obh+1qpHXoz8 Walt did this for years. He tells this story any chance he gets.
Mind your own business.
Same people that show up at 10am also leave at 2pm. Drives culture for sure!
I thought you nerds were quitting when you didn’t get the package. All talk
Get over it
15%?! Please. This is as absurd as mandating coming in if you are 49.9 miles from the office.
Pay is for the product. Period. Not the cost of living. Not the commute. Not your education. If it were, college would be free (it is a job training program for your career after all), your workday would include travel time and housing would be subsidized like health care.
There should be no problem going in when it is needed. Your team working on a white board brainstorm with a specific project in mind? Great! Go in. Sitting in virtual meetings with people in multiple states and coding? Who cares where you are! No smart person should care.
RTO isn't about culture or labor. It isn't about productivity or profits. It is antithetical to cost savings and getting the best labor available. And the idea that employees should surrender 15% of their wages for the privilege of being more productive at lower cost where teams can have workers of skill rather than proximity? Nope.
@ikr+1qpHXoz8 I'm onboard. The time back and lowered stress from no commute, along with increased peace of mind throughout the day would be WELL worth it!
They should let those that want to WFH do so with 15% salary reduction, win win
I have gotten much less work done while in the office
We have no meeting space in our new suite, thus people do impromptu meetings in their cubes. I’ve had 4 meetings held in the cube next to me in a day and a half…it’s disruptive. Not to mention people do not know their own voice volume so all of my calls, people hear my neighbors and it makes conf calls confusing for the end user. We were just slammed into a space already built out that had enough cubes and offices for the exact count. I’m a PL and now do 1:1 at my cube because we have no space and conference rooms are booked.
I’ve been in the office since 2022, the difficulty lies in those who are not respecting people’s space.
Coworker is clipping his nails at his desk.
Well, we RTO’d this week and interestingly enough the world didn’t end. Go figure.
