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.

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.”

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.

Two statements struck me:

1. “The survey equates the displeasure of shifting from a flexible work model to a traditional one to that of experiencing a 2% to 3% pay cut.”

Helloooo... Depending on your commute time, distance, and fuel cost, it may actually BE a 2-3% paycut. I live a long way out, and a rough calculation for me would be in that range. I actually figured it in to my initial salary demand.

2. ...staff members were more open to returning to the office if it was out of choice, rather than forced.

Kinda like making me go to squiggly light bulbs or an electric car?

Taking away anything someone likes is going to cause a problem. There - 11 words, and you could have saved reading that column.

My company had used a lot of leased off-site office space, which they subsequently jettisoned during the shutdown.

They can't bring us all back if they wanted to - just not enough room.

And they apparently save a lot of money having us work from home - the slackers always found a way to loaf in the office anyway, so this way we don't have to see them loaf. And we get more work done.

I'd rather work late in my basement office during a program crunch then stay until late at night in an office 35 miles away.

employees from historically underrepresented groups are 22% more likely to consider other options if flexibility comes to an end.

Gee, I thought these "underrepresented" groups were oppressed and suffered job discrimination?

They don't sound so oppressed if they feel free to quit these jobs which they allegedly have such trouble finding.

So folks quit when they were instructed to come back or be fired? Seems okay

“The Greenhouse report has ranked employees’ priorities as:

Increased compensation (48%)”

There you go. Cash is still king. If you really want to get people to come back in, and not quit on you when you ask that, then offer them more money in exchange.

Unintended consequences for those titans of industry who supported mask mandates, lockdowns and the politicians who supported the same AND the steal. I know tons of people who took advantage of the opportunity to be productive away from the office and a lot of people who wasted the opportunity. Those who wasted it were caught up in layoffs as it’s pretty clear to management if you’re not doing your job at the same level prior to the lockdowns.

Technology is such that home office set ups are now just as good if not better than the office plus the ability to work from wherever has never been more convenient.

There certainly is a benefit to hybrid working as your pool of experienced candidates becomes much wider but it’s up to managers to have a plan in place to manage those remote workers. In todays world (for most) - work isn’t where you go, it’s what you do….
