Junior Big 4 tax staff (3 years or less in Full Time experience) I just wanted to poll why you prefer so early in your careers to be remote?

Is it you don’t expect this to be a career and it is just a job? Lack of understanding that the first years in public accounting are easily the most fun? Came in and no one was there? Other?

Working in an office is lame. I've found that most of the people that love being in the office either want to get out of their house or use work to fill their social needs. I've got enough friends already and don't need anymore. I'll keep doing my job from home, thx

Weird that an entire generation thinks the only upside to being around other people at work is the time wasting part of it.

Not wasting 10 hours a week on commute in a traffic is a big plus to my well being.

No commute (time that is super valuable during busy season & money saved), can wear pajamas, easily distracted when in the presence of others so less productive, dislike the office I’m mapped to

I get distracted easily in office chit chat. Our new office is so small and crowded there is no guarantee we can even get a workstation when getting there. Most of us accept when we have to go in on a particular day, work will not get done. Like others mentioned above, I like reclaiming my time not commuting to be spent on working out. I too, love my puppy at my side at work and being able to customize my own home office.

like

Agreed with this statement whole heartedly. When I do go to the office, it is mostly a wasted bunch of hours as I you end up chit chatting a lot. That plus the 1.5 hour commute each way causes it to not be valuable most days. With that said, I also didn’t have my team in my office previously. We are currently gaining more staff in my group that go to my office so I may consider going in more frequently but I also have two young kids at home so rather be home

Why should I force myself to drive 1-2 hours each day in high traffic? Why should I waste my time to stay in the office for 8 hours plus an extra for lunch and pretend to do work (when it is downtime)?
Why should I subject myself to respond to pointless conversations about your spouse/kids/pets/etc?

In all seriousness, WFH is more flexible for me to spend time with those I love and get personal things done.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.
