Agree with ECD. So much push back on here though. Will be interesting to see where we all land by November.

Personally, don't want my home being a permanent place of work but I'm down for some days away from work. This will probably be the model imo.

Yeah, the freelancer scolding full timers about “recess” as if burnout wasn’t the industry’s #1 issue, pre-pandemic, is a bit rich.

First, objectively I've been more creative away from the office. However, I also noticed I don't have close relationships since I'm in my headphones for most of the day so I don't bounce ideas off others like those who do. I did notice it's something I should work on being away from people this long, but posts like this aren't truly focusing on nuances. I'm not necessarily wrong for coming up with ideas alone for most of the time, but maybe we should be better about including others who work differently 🤔. So, yes we need to be in the office to develop some relationships and invest in the surrounding economy but, by no means we are lacking creativity. It's nice to have moments where I'm not commuting used for taking a walk and recording a memo which gets transcribed to notes to share with my team on a call. I also don't play foosball.

He’s not wrong. Things take longer remotely, the bar for work is lower, that sometimes means employees end up working later. 


But LinkedIn is not the audience for this post. Other executives are.

Overall, working in the office is not better for employees. You’re just not going to convince them of that. And you’re definitely not going to convince them that the office promotes “boundaries” when employers obliterated boundaries as soon as we all got cell phones. It helps them form a bond with the company and their bosses, you could say that. It helps people who can schmooze climb the corporate ladder. But overall, it’s harder on them. Which is why employers favor it.

So the ball is in employee’s court. They have a little bit of power and know that employers aren’t looking out for them or their personal lives. Whether companies go FT or hybrid will ultimately depend on whether their are talented employees willing to do it. But you will never convince employees they’re happier in the office.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
