It's only been a week since I went back to the office. There were a lot of people in, but the change of the space in which I work definitely was a pleasant surprise to me. Not a lot of distractions, comfortable chairs, and the smell of the space was not a factor. I felt comfortable and that feeling stuck with me throughout the whole week.
Looking back at the work that I’ve done in the past week I noticed I have completed more than what I used to complete when I was working from home.

lol what a bizarre--yet normal and expected--propagandist post from a pathetic middle manager who's probably not even being paid for the shill

Those aren’t things that should slow anyone down. I did dishes on my break. I did yard work on my lunch break. I did laundry on my afternoon break. I still was over 2x more productive at home. I pay bills in office or WFH, because it’s all digital and instant, that was a weird one to mention.
What a stiff, canned reply.
I wonder if HR wrote this up for you so you can spam the boards.
Overwhelming majority prefer WFH. Those that want to RTO, go ahead but an option needs to be given.
Well I would guess that you took advantage of the work from home situation if you are more productive in the office. Did you do you laundry, wash dishes, care for children,
pay your bills, make personal phone calls, take an hour for lunch to do household chores,
walk your dog, etc. while working from home? Me thinks so. Of course you would then be more productive in the office.
I find it necessary to at least come in a couple days to get a sense of what other groups are doing and collaborate. However, how dare I have a differing opinion. I must be crazy. I came in one day this week and learned quite a bit about what other groups are doing and what's going on across the LOB.
I have to work longer to make up the time it takes me to commute back and forth to the office... What happened to Work Life Balance here? We are more concerned about D&I so we can backpeddle on Chuckie boy's racist comments. Focus on your people, not how much money you can write off now that you have a$$es in the seats again, Chuckles....
Nice try Charlie....
Let's see.. Get up, go down to your office to log in, get kids ready and to school a 1/2 mile away from home, come back home. Begin your day within 30-45 min of rising for the day.
or
Get up earlier so you can get ready, get kids ready, leave the house, drop them off at school, commute to the office (30-45 minimum commut) get to the office, park, carry your laptop in, badge in, get to your floor, find a desk in your neighborhood, log in. Total time since waking up, probably 2 unproductive hours. Work 2 hours, only to stop and "collaborate" with people about how you have been for 2 years... check your watch, leave because you need to get your kids from school because after school care is not available (since your kids pre-pandemic were in a daycare, now they are 2nd and 3rd graders) leave the office, drive to school to get your kids, drive back home, bring your work cr-p in and relog in, then work for maybe 1-2 more hours because now its 5-6pm and your east coast colleagues are now gone.... Total work time with this option, maybe 2-3 hours of actual work.
Wells needs to get with the freaking times here. Give us a choice to work from home or not. Clearly this company didnt go down the po---r in 2 years and we showed we could sustain. There is not enough D&I around parents with little kids and the pandemic. For me, I will go in---badge in, work an hour, then go home. I am better at home, and save on GAS.... Thats another thing, aren't we trying to "soften our fossil footprint" since Wells is an incredibly liberal company...?? But I digress.... You are right. People are more efficient being in the office, Scott... err... anon poster of this thread...
OP is a troll and a liar. Doubt they even work here. GTFOH OP, this is an anti-RTO board only.
f off.

Comfortable chairs - that’s how we know you’re lying.
My wooden kitchen table chairs are more comfortable than what we have at work. I leave work in major pain every day.
You must be a non self starter who can’t get work done unless you have people around you looking over your shoulder and interrupting your every move, or an executive with a quiet office and cushy chair.
Hahaha….you fu----g troll. Get back to work Scotty. Your post reaks of desperation. Everyone hates RTO and all you dinosaurs who are forcing it. Your generation needs to disappear already. Take your golden parachute and head down to Florida to golf/fish with the rest of your peers. You’re not welcome here anymore.
Hardly …..
I agree with you. When I was home, no motivation. Doing stuff I wasn't supposed to be doing. I'm being honest.
Scharf and Powell, put down the glue. It's addling your brains and affecting your judgement. We can smell your RTO puffery posts a mile away!
I don't know anyone who is more efficient in offices vs home. They are tired, distracted and angry. You are the cause of this.
