TL;DR - If you ask me to work in your office, you are an idiot. Give me a break. Somehow this kind of condescending, flippant, and blanket stance always comes loudest and most frequently from people who just want to work from home themselves. Almost everyone else seems to understand there is some nuance to the issue.
(At my company we work remotely 95% of the time so I'm not in the opposite camp either, just saying it isn't black and white and this guy's tone is super rude)
- AndyNemmity 10y agoI work from home, as well have consulted for many companies on the road, and agree with you. I personally, will never work in an office regularly, but there is a tremendous amount of variation within companies on their stances on even a consultant working in an office, or remotely. You'd think that because they have to pay me gobs of money to fly me on site, they'd be far less interested that I was onsite. This is wrong. For one month, they'd spend maybe, 2000 a week to have me onsite, then adding in my actual costs. Seems ridiculous, but most companies preferred that arrangement. The more tech savy the company was, the less they were interested in me being in an office.
