Appears like WFH is gradually on the decline

greatbam 1% better everyday

I appreciate working for a company that is all in on WFH. The office campus is still there but WFH…

We are ramping up WFH. Closing offices and going “remote first”

Many companies have found that productivity generally goes down with WFH.

That sounds suspect.

IMO it's way more productive. You can wash the dishes, fold laundry and babysit between meetings.

A good mouse jiggler app helps you appear to be online. You can get so much

Don't understand how many people are blindly committed to traditional "in office

Micromanaging and old school attitude.

A lot of office workers use their jobs as their entire social life and don’t like heading into empty offices

I think there are many companies who don’t know how to manage WFH employees. Our company sold off a bunch of office

Many companies have no clue how to measure productivity

Because I was so effective sitting in 10 hours of meetings per week

So now you run errands during those meetings.

If it is a virtual meeting that I don't need to be on camera for, yes. That is

If they don’t need to be in the office, they can be in India or the Philippians

If your company is us based and has India jobs and they won’t let you wfh

I really like my job and my company. You seem a bit angry or bitter?

Acorn

For some reason I read that YOUR company does that. I just don’t understand why

Some of the departments in my company don’t allow WFH.

If you agree to take an India salary then I am sure they would. Working from

Not nearly that simple and you know it. Time zones are a huge problem.

It’s just like business. Some people are good at it. Some aren’t.

I work at Microsoft and the company is all in on flexible work. You can choose

For years it's been understood that flexibility = happier, more productive,

WFH makes a lot of sense for many jobs and should stick around.

spugeddy24

I know I am old school but I hate the "flex"

SayMyName

Managing remotely might not be your skill set. Always time to find a new job.

TCuz

Ha, i manage them all just fine, doesn't mean I have to like it. (:

Do the outsourced jobs have the same salary as the in office jobs? Likely no.

So then, offer higher pay for in office to offset commuting and owning the

This is likely going to happen, but due to covid people had an in office job

Except WFH not only saves the individual money, it saves the company money too.

It's pretty simple, but man oh man do companies get hung up on dogmatic policy.
