It’s a beautiful day, the windows are open, sun is shining through, the fan gives a nice breeze. I am super productive at work, I have my music on and am sitting on my bed with my laptop. I am flying through morning meetings and checking things off my list. Please, please,’please can we do away with 4 day RTO. Please.

Our employees are happy? I think it’s time to do full 5 days RTO now.

To clarify, I’m not saying go in zero days. I’m saying 2-3 days is better.

My team, along with folks from other teams, used to have “work and lurk” where we’d spend time on Teams working at the same time - not necessarily on the same things - and be able to “work together.” we started it during the pandemic and just kept going until we were voluntold to return to offices 3x/week. It did help solidify relationships and helped newbies to gain the benefit of hanging out with coworkers to build relationships, too. I wish more remote companies would do that.

No can do, sorry our lords can’t ever lose money on any investments, especially stupid office real-estate investments. Can you imagine what will happen if their real estate investments only garner modest returns???/s

My two cents: Checking tasks off a list is a less-than-compelling argument for staff workers to continue remote. It was never just about the work itself, but also about the relationships. The arguments for maintaining and/or building those in a remote setting were never strong enough. People would be forced to show up at an office for an event and then go nuts over colleagues they hadn’t seen in years. Everyone was happy to be together. Management was taking notes.

Going in once in a while vs every day is not the same.

I started a new job in May. I took a step down from Paralegal to Legal Asst. At my interview I was told that to them the title was interchangeable & I would be doing Paralegal work, especially considering that I knew how to do the heavy Paralegal work. But it’s been 6 months of tedious admin work & when I point out mistakes on pleadings, question case strategy or discovery methods, & suggest more effective ways to get things done, I get these weird looks or the brush off. What can I do?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.
