OK, here goes. I like remote work, and I’m WFH. However, other people, mostly the ones holding the high cards, see this differently. They see office work as an opportunity for collaboration (teamwork), and some see going in to the office as a sign of commitment to the job. So the office is still going to figure prominently in people’s careers.
The other thing is that some remote workers have engaged in such forms of perfidy as putting programs on their computers that mimic keystrokes and mouse movements so they can goof off. Others use WFH as an opportunity to sell their services to bad actors such as the Red Chinese. Bosses do keep track of these things, and requiring time in the office should cut down on this crap.
The office is here to stay!
“The office is here to stay!
You are absolutely correct.
There is no way to get rid of stupid bosses who cannot figure out how to measure productivity without staring at their workers.
Well—at least until AI sees through the scams and fires all the managers.
Lol.
