I'll be honest... It's pretty damn hard to concentrate on my synthesis runs when my wife is nagging from the other room and the baby is upstairs crying. And what is it with the landscapers in my neighborhood? They have the loudest leaf blowers known to man... 105 dB last I checked... I am going out of my mind.
Still, if I go back to work I will have three bosses (Intel matrix management) looking over my shoulder and wanting to know how my block schedules are looking....
If someone can do their job effectively from home then let them stay home.
The problem is with the slackers who pretend they can WFH effectively but are constantly calling people on site to do their work for them.
The managers also want to stay home in their pajamas so they won't address the slackers lack of meaningful contributions and on and on it goes.
I wonder if this apply to employees who are officially fully remote.
would be a good idea. it would make the Millennials scatter like flies as they wont be able to do engage in Gaming or making Tic-Toc videos at the office.
The id--t boomers at Intel will still be id--ts if you bring them back to the office. This is merely shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s easy to blame WFH for lack of productivity, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of other companies do WFH just fine. Intel needs proper leadership and engineering talent to fix its problems, whining about WFH just makes a noise like steam escaping.
My boomer friends - take a deep breath, stop making excuses to protect your fragile feelings, and try working for once. It might hurt at first, but you can do it!
Working for Dinosaur boomers who think we need to operate like a typing pool? No thanks.
I've heard once a month, but with aim to increase one everyone is used to it
@1xum+1lDDndF9 At least as well as for the 5 years before covid. Company's laughable inefficiency is another matter, and not related to remote work.
"...but we’ve been operating just fine the way it’s been."
Have we been operating just fine, have we?
If it really does create useful productivity then yes come back to the office, but we’ve been operating just fine the way it’s been.
Bringing people back to the office isn’t going to solve anything.
The solution is make it be a 4day work week. Close the buildings down during the 3 other days if possible. People who’ve been wfh, should continue to do so. And people who ‘have’ to come in only come in during those 4days.
Intel doesn't have enough office space to accommodate 30k employees hired in last 2 years. No RTO. Enjoy wfh (actually coasting). Even with RTO I coast. most of time spent chatting with friends in cafe.
I've heard similar from CCG group
Will it be all days a week or only one day a week ok? Hybrid type model
Or does it depend on team?
Darn, just when my golf scores were starting to improve. :(
I'm looking forward to more covid and free fruit!
Doubtful as we close sites
Meh
It's about time. A friend told me the local gym is crowded during the day with Intel employees working from home.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
