I am careful to use the term “Return to long commutes and work from the office” as “return to work” implies that working remotely is not “work”.
I believe you meant the former - this is my tiny PSA about the importance of framing and phrasing.
Similarly “quiet quitting” is a frame further normalizing employee exploitation. “Working within contractual obligations” defangs that one.
- lbrindze 4y agoI do the same thing, but insist on calling all regular weekends "short weekends" and holiday weekends "regular weekends" or just "weekends". My hope is this catches on and we start thinking of 5 day weeks as "long weeks". (given that I stole this from a podcast producer maybe it already is?)
