Current Events > Lazy work from home people are mad they gotta come in to work again

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think Google made a good amount of its employees go back to Google's offices to work there again and these rich, privileged scum complain about it. I am sure as time go by other companies will make their employees go back to work at the offices again and these rich pos will complain about it like its the worst thing ever. Fuck them. What about a good amount of people who don't work at a job that you can work from home? They outnumber these cockroaches 50000 to 1 but you don't see these people complain when the virus was at its worse but still had to work anyways. I read some reddit posts that said they accomplished 500% more at the offices than they did at home so yes, these goddamn rich female and male Karens should know there is a reason for your employers wanting you to work at the office rather than home and it's to not be lazy and to get more work done.

As an essential worker working through all this bullshit while these people submitted their TPS reports from home.... can I get a paid year off now??

For real though.

Geez you guys are really selfish

If I have to suffer everybody else must suffer,too, unless they're rich, they earned the right to live in luxury by working hard, if you work hard you are rewarded with luxury that's how it works, work hard, suffer, enjoy the wealth later that you rightfully earned

My brother is a lawyer and he said he got more done from home than in the office . Some jobs are learning not everyone needs to be in an office.

Ive been onsite since the start of the pandemic.

This topics moronic af.

It is better for the economy if folks who don't really need to go into the office work from home. Less money wasted on office space, the better.

---

It depends on the individual. Some dudes are impossible to reach ever since work from home started.

Working in retail, all these people complaining about having to go back to the office is falling on deaf ears.

Not sure why businesses that have maintained a level of success over the last year feel the need to return to the office if over the last year they functioned okay without it.

I was put on work from home last February, it's permanent now, they are closing the office and are going strictly remote because there's no need to pay rent and utilities on a place you don't necessarily need.

Sorry but there's nothing lazy about being able to do your job from home, successfully. People act like people who work from home suddenly do nothing anymore. I still do the same job I always did, except now I can sleep an hour later in the morning and i'm saving money on gas and mileage wear and tear. I still have jobs and deadlines to meet weekly.

---

I hope this is a fad. Working at an office space is so dated and unnecessary. Productivity is a lot better working from home.

No bullshit meetings, nobody bugs you to talk for 30 minutes, no necessary bullshit committees etc. Just work. Office days are so padded with unnecessary fluff it's ridiculous. If I don't have to work 8 hour days then don't let me. Fluffing up my day to meet 8 hrs is silly.

---

There are a bunch of reasons why, from reducing long commutes to more time with family (especially if you have a child).

I was work from home until last fall. Work doesn't really decrease when you're working from home, you simply have a few more options.

I imagine it does wonder's for one's mentality as well to be able to do their job in their own home, want Lunch? No overpriced or premade lunch anymore your kitchen is a few steps away, need to use the bathroom, no worry about being penalized for being away from your station for daring to need to do a basic human function and even better no going into a strange and disgusting bathroom full of other people's germs! Just those two things alone probably massively boost people's moods and as such their productivity probably goes up, too.

idk if I could do it long term but I was WFH for a few project days and my favorite part of those days was getting to play with my pets during my break tbh.

id like a hybrid style personally, since I have to be physically present for a good portion of my work anyways.

They paid in advance for the space, sometimes by years. It makes sense that some are pushing for it.

But corporate America can go to hell lol

---

I have an outside position anyway so I don't have to be in the office all the time anyways.

---

I'm not ashamed of being lazy, I'm almost 40 years old and going to the office sucks, especially when I can do the same work from the comfort of my home.

---

I got a permanent fully remote job offer. Lol at going back to the office

Why spend hours of your life commuting and dealing with shit traffic if you work a job that you can do at home. Im sorry not every job allows that

Yeah there's really no reason an hour of my day needs to be spent driving across town and back

---

Why do people want there to be more traffic and emissions in the air they breathe just so people can be watched more closely in person by their employers?

---

Burning time and gas on a commute is non productive time and money. Offices cost a lot of money in terms of rent and utilities. A lot of office-type work can be performed from home.

Yes, loads of people work retail or construction or nursing or manufacturing or whatever jobs which cannot be performed from home. This does not affect point #1. The thoughtline of "I'm being subjected to shit, therefore you should also suffer" is toxic.

I dont get why wfh is seen as lazy

So much for just getting a "better" job

We've had a year and some change that's proven that working from home, and even "screwing off" to start laundry, has no significant negative effect on productivity.

The only ones demanding a return to the office are "stern-proctor" type managers who are now deathly afraid of obsolescence, and building managers or executives who don't understand the sunk-cost fallacy.

The pandemic shined a bright light on the fact that 95% of white collar corporate office jobs have zero requirement to have a 9-5 M-F onsite presence.

Engineers, troubleshooting, physical site management and infrastructure stuff? Yeah that makes sense.

Finance, accounting, customer service, sales, marketing, operations, coding, programming... no need whatsoever.

Companies are just requiring their workers to come back because they don't want their massive money sink into a sweet shiny giant office campus to feel wasted.

---

Productivity where I work has been up since we started working from home. People are using the time they would have been commuting to finish off jobs, or logging on at times good for them etc. Overall the increased flexibility has been good for them and good for the employees.

Going forward they are halving the office space, which will save them a lot of money and they don't plan to bring us back into the office until 2022, even then they said no more than two days a week.

I've personally saved 10+ hours a week on commuting and a lot of money on transport. A much better work/life balance.

Why is this a bad thing again?

I found myself working more from home than in the office. Less time spent chatting around with folks in the office. And I would have a hard time clocking off. Id find myself responding to shit at 7-8 pm

Why do they need to come in if they are perfectly capable of doing the job from home?

---

There's literally no reason to work at an office anymore unless your area doesn't have internet somehow.

It's ridiculous. I work more hours from home than I did in the office, because people didn't used to ask me for shit at all hours of the day. Now, it's "you have access to your computer, you can look this up right now" instead of waiting until I got back to the office the next morning.

---

Man I would love to work from home. My commute isnt too bad right now (~25 minutes and 20 miles each way Ive definitely done worse) but working from home would definitely save me time and money, so I see literally no downside to that.

Maybe someday.

Also, can we cut it out with the my life sucks, so YOURS should too! bullshit? Look, I get it, but at the same time, instead of trying to bring other people down, why dont you do something to lift your own self up?

If everyone who can work from home did, the commute for everyone who can't would be much better.

So true. I remember last year when everyone decided to actually start freaking out about the pandemic and things got locked down, the one silver lining was that there was so much less traffic.

Literally every office person that works from home will claim increased productivity on their end.

My wife works from home, but isnt rich. They have to go back to the office this week and no one is happy about it. Sales were better at home then at the office. Doesnt make sense to bring them back. Depends on the job really.

---

working from home is the future like cloud gaming.

Sour grapes from people who still wear a name tag to work lol

How is it lazy when safe hours of a commute, wasted useless meetings, unneeded workplace etiquette and drama while can get a lot more done with WFH and work life balance is drastically improved. We have the technology for WFH and the proof it works. You are lazy TC for just following the corporate drum beat and licking boots to get by

Less traffic congestion
Less Car Accidents
Less Time lost to commuting
Less air pollution

All of the people that work for my place strangely wanted to come back to the physical office for at least half the week. Like that's fine and everything. I personally, don't like working from home because I need the separation.

When I asked people about it, they seemed like they kind of were getting sick of their family and needed the break. We were looking into downsizing on space but it seems to be not necessary now.

i work at a place where we take turns coming into the office because well we still have work that needs to physically be done in the office(not everyone can do remote trials, mail from litigants, mailing out stuff, etc..) and people always bitch and moan when they have to come in, or if they get scheduled twice in a week. Like... you do know you've been coming in every day until the pandemic hit right? Suck it up or retire. I'm pushing for us to go back full time because it's made a lot of people extremely lazy workwise so that kick in the ass is what they need.
