> less trouble finding conference rooms, bathrooms ... nap rooms.
The discussion here is usually uber-focused on tech startups. Most jobs are not like that, they are normal offices without massages and washing machines, and are not overcrowded. But an office filled with 40% of random employees who are constantly making noisy zoom meetings feels more like a customer call center than a place where you can focus.
We 're still in the early days of remote and people are still afraid of it/ have not adapted their lives around it. When people settle in this new reality, the desire to see the office is going to wane a lot.
- everforward 5y agoMost people where I work have already adapted to it, we've been remote for like 2 years at this point. Most of my coworkers have already invested in their home office, to the point where it's drastically nicer than their work counterparts. They don't want to go back to the office, they don't want to go back to using the office equipment, and they don't want to feel like they wasted money on their home office. Corporate seems loathe to just go fully remote. We're apparently in a hiring drive; I'm curious if they're trying to overstaff so they have some breathing room for people that quit when they force us back in to the office.
