You are preaching to the choir. Unfortunately we aren’t the ones getting to make these decisions. And even more unfortunately, the people that are making them are failing to see how frustrating it is for us. I do feel like at some point we’ll go back to more remote flexibility, just not sure when.
Coach
I appreciate the validation you are giving me. Misery loves company!
There’s probably not a need to go in. But with all these companies implementing rto, there’s really no choice.
Yea but gotta do it, unfortunately. Fully remote jobs are not as available as they used to be. We may not agree, but we don’t really have a choice.
I feel you. Immensely. There is literally no point of being in the office for me, it’s so draining when you’re stuck on zoom calls for the entirety of the day. The only peace I get is knowing I’m at home.
Coach
Yes!! And I get more work done and am more efficient when I’m at home too.
The theme among upper management across the business world is that remote work is somehow immoral and remote workers are cheats and scamps who are gaming the system. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but there you have it. There's no logic to it, but if you get enough people to follow the trend, nonsense becomes reality.
Coach
How do we all team up against this new trend….
Back in the day (lol) account people would spend so much time in our client's offices because of this. Some agencies even get embedded into their AOR clients. Client Service is the one position that I think is better in person, but if I'm gonna go into the office to talk to a computer then I'd rather stay home
Not one that I can see. I agree with you, I feel like we cshould be able to work from home full time. I don't understand why they made everyone return to office. It would save money not to have big offices that people go to if they are able to do the job from home.
Coach
I get more done at home too!!
