A subtle way to insinuate that working from home is somehow not working. That the only way to work is in an office.
- kevingadd 3y agoYeah, it's interesting that they accept the phrasing "return to work" here when "return to office" is commonly used and more accurate

- postalrat 3y agohttps://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/working-paper/evolution-working-home https://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/working-paper/evolut... The reality is even worse. You think business want to pay for office space and lose employees trying to bring them back to the office? They don't. What they want is for things to get done and its not happening as it was before.
- joshxyz 3y agoshould be rto return to office. return to work is hilarious.
- NewJazz 3y agoI asked for an office. They just gave me a cubicle.
- a012 3y agoA cubicle is the greatest perk if some company seriously want RTO
- weeblewobble 3y agoI would honestly love a cubicle. Not being sarcastic at all. It’s funny to think back on Office Space and Dilbert and the general pervasiveness of the idea that cubicles are soul crushing. Open plan offices are 10x worse and everybody does them
- quickthrower2 3y agoreturn to work really should be reserved for things like disability e.g. you broke your leg and your job is a waiter so you literally can’t work until it is healed.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoPretty sure Elon Musk is on record as saying that people working from home are only pretending to work. I don't think any subtlety is intended.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoDo people pretend to work more in the office or at home? I think people pretend to work more at home, but also get more work done at home... there's a lot of very acceptable social loafing in most offices.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoI have no idea. I used to read Texts From Last Night and people would say stuff like "Me and my boss are getting high." Or "I'm going to go nap for an hour in the bathroom sitting on the toilet. They pay me $100,000 annually. God, I love this job." And, of course, there's the tale of the forgotten employee. https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/ https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/ But Elon Musk seems to have Opinions and it's his company.
