The fuck it isn't.
Nobody asked you to "put in a lot of hard work" into making an office into a goddamned romper room for adults. My office requirements are very basic: I want it to be quiet, I want minimal distractions, and I don't want to have to put in a lot of effort just to show up to work.
My home office has two beautiful monitors and a very comfortable and expensive chair where I don't have to hear anybody's gossip or singing or their raging. I also don't have to sit through bullshit corporate "team-building" events which are just giant distractions which end up eating half my day. Give the sales team another award? I have nothing to do with sales and I couldn't fucking care less, so why am I being distracted from my work? Oh, and I don't have to wear headphones if I want to listen to music or be in a virtual meeting.
Painting the walls in company colors complete with all them logos sure as fuck makes me proud that I only got a 1% raise this year despite being a top employee in the company.
No, sorry, the office thing is and always has been an ego trip for managers and bosses. It is a waste of time for people who have to commute and frankly it makes our days even longer. You don't get to tell me where I'm more productive and it's insulting that you would even attempt to.
- kcplate 3y ago> the office thing is and always has been an ego trip for managers and bosses No, not always. Once upon the time that is just where people did work, because that is where they were needed and their job could be done. You are lucky to have a job that can be done remotely and live in a time where remote work is possible. There are a whole lot of folks that still need to show up at a job site every day to help provide for all those things you listed that make your home office possible.
