  • The 'office' or 'wfh' discussion/arguement has got to be one of the worst legacys of COVID.

    Like almost everything these days, people on either side are never going to convince people on the other side, and anyone in the middle gets frowns from them both.

  • It seems like such an odd one for people to get into arguments over too. Some people prefer working in the office, some people from home, some like a bit of both. So, why not just let the workers choose and everyone wins?

    My last place had a 2 day in office mandate after lockdowns lifted. Few people came in more than 2 days. So any time you were having a meeting, it was a bunch of people in a meeting room and a bunch on Zoom. The worst of both worlds!

    And of course they were making a big thing about their green credentials, while unnecessarily asking people to commute into the office when they'd just spent the past 2 years doing the same job from home.

    My current workplace thankfully is pretty flexible that way, some people are fully remote, some are in the office a few days a week. Nobody really cares as long as the work gets done. Thankfully the owners seem to be mature enough to not care about the office theatrics around appearing busy.

  • Is that actually what happened here? I didn't see anybody who prefers WFH saying nobody should work in the office, or that people who work in the office are some kind of grifter. I just saw one cunt having a "No empathy" January, and mostly people not even responding directly but just discussing details of the pros and cons of the various options and how it works for them.
