My company is mandating three days a week in the office starting next month. Thankfully, I used the work at home period to reclassify as remote only.

...the top feelings employees revealed they felt toward the office were happy (31%), motivated (30%), and excited (27%).

No one should give a crap about employees feelings. It's like crying in baseball. Ridiculous.

We’re not returning to the office. Ever.

I tell every bank and headhunter, its 100% remote or no deal. I haven’t had a problem finding projects to do.

Actually a lot of the best and most in-demand employees left.

If they were just losing low level, lesser skilled, less experienced drones, companies wouldn’t care. They’re losing the people they most wanted to keep. That’s why they’re worried.

It’s the way to go.

Maybe middle managers can learn actual jobs to do...

Fine! Don't care about how I feel about it. That's fine. I'll just work for someone else. The free market works both ways.

Have we now created an industry whose sole purpose is analyzing the behavior of a bunch of spoiled brats?

This is what gives rise to "quiet quitting" and other factors leading to "worker shortages". Employers now blatantly don't care about their workers. Screw 'em. Exploit 'em. If times get tough, lay 'em off. Make them stay home. Make them come in. Who cares what the workers think???

And then companies are shocked that workers have no loyalty and just focus on the money and don't think too much about their own contribution to the work. As long as the paychecks keep coming, it's all good.

Hey, we're all out for Number One, aren't we?

Culled the heard I guess. Unfortunately, they’re going to go on the state and we’ll be footing the unemployment benefits.

Some of the people who have to return to the office are not returning to the same situations. Private offices were lost and employers gave up real estate and went to hoteling. I wouldn’t be happy about that and it would be as if the employer reneged on an agreement.

Many employees today have bought into the Democrats mantra of “entitlement” and thus aren’t interested in giving a good day’s work for a good day’s pay. As Bob Dylan said, “The times, they are a changing.”

2020 called. They want you to come back.

My company is 100% remote. We are gaining market share and attracting the best and brightest.

Any company that can’t manage a remote work force needs better managers.

Looks like everyone these days wants to be their own boss, but they don’t want to actually WORK or have any responsibilities...but still get paid.

Ripe for the picking by Mother Government and her State Minions. She’s aces at paying people NOT to work! *SPIT*

Are we returning to Days of Old with a Butcher, a Baker and a Candlestick Maker?

Nah. Too much work beyond having to type into your computer all day long or be on the phone. *Rolleyes*

So GLAD to be out of the Rat Race. I’ve always had physically and mentally demanding jobs, and was paid accordingly. Wouldn’t go back to that now for anything.

The managers want you in the office so they can yell at you. They cannot do that on a zoom call as it is recorded : )
