> If I was a tech worker I would be championing every return to office initiative that exists, for my own self-preservation. "Yep boss, those face-to-face meetings and talks around the coffee pot are VITAL to this company's success." You have to choose your battles. It's not as if you have any influence on that. It all comes down to dollars. Faking a need for office collaboration will only postpone matters a short while. To be honest I'd love to get my redundancy package now, I've worked at a major enterprise for 15 years and would get more than a year's wage. I hate working there since the pandemic. Our IT top leaders are complete idiots. And the flex desk office is a nightmare to work in, always running around with your bag of stuff trying to find a desk because nobody obeys the booking system (planon, which is admittedly a total piece of shit) I'd love to go and work for a startup again but I need the redundancy money to make it through.
