littlebro07 11/14/23 6:10:19 PM #1:	My wifes been a remote worker for over two years, from day one of employment. We just had a baby and she got three months of maternity leave, ending today. With us both being permanent remote workers we made childcare arrangements based on that. She found out from her boss yesterday that theyre back to working in the office now so her first day back is in person. There isnt a single thing that she does in her job that cant be done from home. The office is a 40 minute drive from home so not only do we now have to figure out our childcare situation last minute, well also be spending a buttload of money on gas. bUt iTs gOod to CoLLaBorAtE in PeRsOn shut the fuck up no one cares about talking to their teammates in person instead of through teams or zoom /rant --- https://i.imgtc.com/MGGa6Os.gif <cite>littlebro07 posted [p:977216708] in Returning ...

Three live within 15 minutes of the office, two are in different states so are legitimately permanently remote, and then shes 40 minutes from the office.

You have to work 8 hours regardless.

projectpat72988 11/14/23 9:25:04 PM #39:	I had a very similar situation come about. I've never been one of those fuck the last generation people but this one really got on my nerves. Heaven forbid ANYTHING good come from the pandemic. If people can do 100% of their job from home. Why in the world would you want you want them in some shithole building? No reason. Just old school do the same shit over and over never evolve nonsense. I love the logic of it too. In 2020 people were acting like COVID was gonna kill EVERYONE. Then in 2021 when covid was actually serious with the numbers everyone was like MEH. Now in 2023 everyones like lets pretend this all NEVER happened! Assuming we don't die from nuclear war and tech continues to evolve over and over. We are eventually going to be living like this anyways. So why resist? Just someone power tripping.

I bet alot of the people here working from home instead of the office actually depend on amazon workers (people who show up to work). Imagine thinking that when you're working from home you're not "showing up to work every day". "You can't work from home because not everyone can work from home you hypocrite!"

ScarfForLife 11/15/23 7:28:29 AM #43:	My brother in law works HR for the government in DC. Has been remote for a couple years now. I think theyre (not him, his bosses) are pushing to get people back in the office. His boss told him the reason is literally the economy in DC. With all those people remotely working, money isnt being spent in DC that was previously. Its so stupid. Unfortunately I dont work from home. I used to work somewhere it took me an hour- hour and a half to get there and 2 hours to get home. It was miserable. Did that for 2 years. Now work 15 min away. A lot better. Id still jump on anything remote that paid a similar salary in a heartbeat. --- Father of 3 <cite>ScarfForLife posted [p:977224720] in Returning ...

rexcrk 11/15/23 7:38:52 AM #47:	Im honestly so sick and tired of this country and the psychotic work fetish it has. Every single job that can be done remotely, should be done remotely. I get to work from home one day a week and its like the only day of the week where Im not completely miserable while working. If people want to waste their time and be in an office? Great, let them. It should be an option. I feel your wifes pain, TC. I used to have to drive 40 - 45 minutes (one way) when there was a location in my company that was 20 minutes down the road from me. I fucking hated it. Somethings gotta give. --- Chill it out, take it slow, then you rock out the show <cite>rexcrk posted [p:977224800] in Returning ...

Now I gotta wait at least 6 months as this winds through arbitration--whenever the union decides to file the grievance, that is--and meanwhile we all gotta report in.
