To some people in some fields. I don't get this mindset that there is some magic in coming back to the office, I can tell you that I work better from home and am happier when I decide who to see when and not when some CEO says I should go to the office.
We're a software dev, all WFH, but we have an office for getting together. Examples:
Went in one day, few coworkers hanging around, mainly shooting the shit.
Talking to a manager from a different group I found out 2 important things that I never knew, would have never thought to ask. That kind of organic conversation doesn't happen on Slack.
Sitting at my desk, I hear the guys in front of me discussing a thing. "Hey! My team was just talking about that this morning! Can you give us some insight on how that works?" Again, not a thing I would have heard on Slack.
Can you deny that humans are pack animals? That we benefit from social interaction and die without it? This is Psychology 101.
Or how about this? What's more fun: Having a bunch of friends over for a LAN party or playing the same game online at your own homes? Which of those two options provides better collaboration?
Say 2 people want a thing from me, both things are of exactly equal importance. Who am I helping first? The one I know personally, or the one I've only seen on Zoom?
FFS, y'all can't even admit there are benefits without going off on an anti-capitalist/anti-CEO rant. Even a statement saying, "Yeah, benefits, nah, not worth it.", is anathema.
I'm glad you find value in your situation.
I don't necessarily share your opinions, as my situations have been entirely different. A majority of the office based jobs I've had could have absolutely been fully remote. Hell, I might have kept one or two of them for longer if they were remote.
Were you under the impression that I have to go into an office? Just saying there are benefits, though WFH outweighs them.
No. Was my brief post that confusing?
I was under the impression that you found value in your situation... which is why I said that I was happy for you finding value in your situation.
I was also under the impression that I didn't find value in my return to work situations, and that the majority of the office jobs I've had can be done 100% remotely... which is why I said that I didn't find value in my situations said the majority of the office jobs I've had could be done 100% remotely.
Notice I didn't make any comments about your shitty closing paragraph that is an out of hand dismissal of anyone who might have an opposing view?
They hated him, because he spoke the truth
LOL, right?! Lemmy, like reddit, has a hard-on for certain things, and one dare not propose any other angles or nuance. Not even if, in the end, you still agree!
