Work permits to work from home please introduce me
That policy doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, except perhaps as a way of making sure that everyone still exists. I mean, it sounds like they don't trust that the remote workers are real so they need them to prove it once in a while. I disliked having to return to the office, but to be honest, once I got used to it again it I didn't mind it that much. Working remotely was too isolating in some ways.
Pro
You are right about isolation. Working from does feel like you are the only one working for your company and you don't know anybody except their names. I don't mind going to office either but my office is about 45 mins drive and it is no fun driving in snow.
You don't know how good you've got it 😂. I'll happily trade jobs with you - you deal with rude customers, I'll sit at home on my computer!! The rule that annoys me most is our stupid PTO policy. We can't request any time off in November and December because it's when we're busiest. And it's also when everyone wants to take time off to see family for the holidays.
Pro
I would do the same as well. My company blocks dates are thanksgiving, Christmas, & new years. I can never go anywhere like I want to. The only thing that I benefit from is a bonus and a raise. It’s annoying but I do make a lot of money towards the end of the year.
Pro
I wish I can work from home. I would take that job over working in an office any day. Even though I like socializing with others during my work. Going to work for one day is that bad to me. One policy I dislike at my company is block off dates during the holidays. I can never travel during those times which is quite annoying.
Pro
Part of it is justification. They are trying to justify the rent they pay for those offices, they are trying to justify your supervisor's role and ensuring they get to "oversee" your work.
At this point, we have shown that many jobs can be done remotely, and all of this is just theatratics.
