Return-to-Office Plans Amid Employee Resistance

In June, Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanded that all employees return to their onsite workspaces, according to a leaked e-mail thread. If workers refused, Musk would consider it a resignation.

Again the news today is that the NY Times can't get people back to work. However, I won't post the link.

Actually, I was talking about people with school age kids not infants. You’re right no one is getting much done if they are raising an infant while trying to work from home.
But having worked in offices at times in my life I can tell you anyone who thinks people in the office work full time are fooling themselves. Between scheduled breaks, lunch, smoking breaks, celebrating birthdays with cake in the breakroom, FBing, rehashing last night’s football game I’d say most people in the office at best realistically work 3-4 out of every 8 they get paid for. Add in the cost to the company of renting office space and I think the work at home thing is a winner for everyone.

I’ve done both and honestly got much more done in my home office without the distractions than I ever got done at the office.

Sorry for the miscommunication. I enjoy working with many of my coworkers and the camaraderie we have. I’m not friends with anyone in my immediate office. I would consider two, maybe three people friends and I work with hundreds of people.
