Sadly, there's definitely 4-8 ppl who _ hate _ being at home. So they're waiting for the office gates to open so they can go back. :(
- djohnston 6y agoYeah I also don't blame them though, if I were a parent I would absolutely hate WFH.
- BadCookie 6y agoWorking from home as a parent is awesome actually ... if there’s another parent or nanny also at home who takes primary responsibility for the kid. That is how it should be, at least for young kids. Obviously with COVID, it’s not safe or affordable for some families to do this, but if you can afford daycare for another arrangement for your kid while you are in the office, you can afford daycare for your kid while you work from home.
- bradlys 6y agoHiring a nanny is much more expensive than daycare. If it wasn’t, daycare wouldn’t exist.

- sokoloff 6y agoWFH while your kids are in forced-remote schooling is quite different from WFH when they're in school for 6+ hours of the workday.
- slavapestov 6y ago> Even if a four people of our 22-member team resume WFO, the rest are screwed. Soon we all need to WFO. Pre-COVID I was one of 3 remote people on my team, rest worked from the office. This arrangement didn’t cause any obvious problems.
- tsjq 6y agoThe problem is ... We didn't have any remote workers in BC era. So, everything would be discussed & finalized over impromptu whiteboard sessions as-and-when-needed. The team is super-lazy on email communications too. :(
