Careful with your wording! "Return to work" annoys the heck out of people who worked hard all pandemic. You probably mean "return to on-site work."

- solarkraft 4y agoReturn to the company provided office. It's ludicrous to imply people weren't working before.
- jxf 4y agoI just say "return to office". As you say, the work was always happening.
- koheripbal 4y agoPeople who spend a lot of time at work arguing about corporate announcement word selection are probably also easily distracted from their job by other drama. Maybe it's useful to highlight them?

- sp332 4y agoAre you speaking for yourself?
- foobarbecue 4y agoI do find it annoying, probably because I know people who think remote work isn't work. I've caught myself accidentally using "return to work" as well and I appreciate when people catch me.
- mrguyorama 4y agoPeople gave me so much grief before the pandemic for working from home all the time. Not a soul has said anything to the extent "Oh that must be nice" since. Working from home has downsides that people refused to understand before they experienced it for themselves. Still better than a freaking "Open" office. I don't get deafened by HVAC noise at home, or have to pretend to be able to focus while two managers with nothing better to do blabber on about non-work things right next to my desk. And then those self same managers will have the gall to critique my work ethic.
- mousetree 4y agoAre people really getting offended by that nuance?
- foobarbecue 4y agoAnnoyed, yes. Offended, I dunno.
