Lots of people have a commute of 1+ hour, then time to walk to the office get settled etc. Same on the way home.
For the last ~16 months people everywhere have clawed back 5 or 10 or 15 hours a week. That's a huge increase in leisure time: Enough for a another hobby, additional professional development, time with family, or just relax & help avoid burn out. A huge increase in quality of life.
Where I work the message is now "Everyone is back, in the office, full-time, every day, no exceptions, full stop." No WFH was allowed pre-pandemic.
So, people quitting. Most places are at least offering some form of hybrid. But then our President/CEO just retired, and a new one starts next week. I suspect that faced with an IT department gutting itself day by day, there may be a reconsideration. I hope there is.
- zeku 5y agoAt my job they're leaning into WFH. We are full WFH since March 2020 with no end in sight, with higher ups reported to be satisfied with our performance and the new job listings all listed as *remote available*. Some people really dislike it at work and appear to come into zoom calls from the office. Most of that group really appreciates how empty the office is though. I also work for an employer that isn't a "tech player" and you wouldn't think we are more forward than Apple on this, but here we are.
