- kelnos 5y agoGah, I keep reading this over and over and it's so straw-man infuriating. No one is saying "shut down all offices". Half of the company working from home every day of the week does not preclude the other half from working from an office. We can all actually get what we want here; let's stop pretending this is an us vs. them fight.
- jonny_eh 5y agoI can't work with you in the office if you're not in the office.
- rodly 5y agoIt's not a symmetric need though. Your need requires other people to be around you to have your ideal lifestyle. The WFH need doesn't require other people to do anything different (we all use slack/email/etc regardless of where we physically are). Your need is wronging others (requiring them to spend time commuting and being in a distracting office) and their need (you aren't affected) is not wronging others. It's insane that so many people are okay pathetically dragging other people into a shitty situation just to make themselves happy.
