Have you considered that some of us LIKE working in an office?
- mikkom 14y ago.. Especially some of us who have children.
- navyrain 14y agoOf course, some people like working in offices; that was never disputed. However, there are an increasing number of organizations which have caught on that offices are not "software factories", but rather, an optional luxury.
- xxpor 14y agoI just think that we're not fighting for it because not that many of us really care. Not that I would be opposed to the option of course.
- rhizome 14y agoMaybe it seems like not many care because when someone mentions including the option they are shouted down like they're saying all workers should WFH.
- earlyriser 14y agoSome people like to work in the office, other want to work at home. In both cases it would be nice to have a checkbox to indicate our preference.
- vog 14y ago-1 for the strawman argument. The OP didn't dispute that some of us like the office. They only pointed out that some (others) of us don't like the office, and that the site didn't take this into account.
