layoff talk is over for now, time to avoid going to the office again
The cockroaches are feeling lonely with no one coming into the office.
I’m going to make one of those Japanese sleep capsules so I can give 10,000%. Plus no mortgage. It’s a win win
“ I don’t mind going into the office. I’ll shift my schedule from working 10 hr days with no lunch to 8 hrs with a lunch”
Look, I’m TW and while I generally agree it IS true they get more work out of me because I don’t have to sit in traffic 3 hours a day..let’s not be ridiculous. I do eat at home too. May even throw a load of laundry in. Gasp.
People won’t come to the office because they are being laid off. Offices will be empty.
I wfh and have since 2007. If we go back to the office in order for the company to ensure work is getting done, then let’s do it. However, lazy people will still be lazy and productive people will still be productive. All this does is allow the company to justify the money they pay for in office space.
Most all of these employees that go to the office every work day believe the company should award them a trophy, just for showing up.
They know what you do. You can stop with how much more productive you are at home. They can tell everything you type if they want too.
To the OP: What if the type of work I do doesn't require me to be in the office? What if the express intent of my job is for me to be flexible in my work arrangement?
Besides, I have been in an office lately. They are absolute ghost towns unless you are in Atlanta, San Jose, or Dallas. The amount of "drop in space" would not allow for most people to return to an office.
Sure, because i am sooo productive at one of their office hubs hearing everyone's phone call, loud voices, calls on speakerphones. T paying me to come to work 2x a week and not work. Sounds good to me.
Truth - just shows how screwed up the culture is at att
Simply being in an office building as dead weight doesn't help the company at all. It seems the loudest proponents of being in the office at all times are the ones who do the least work, and expect brownie points just for showing up and hanging around the water cooler, while simultaneously annoying everyone within earshot of their speaker phone.
OP is stressed out & not comfortable with the constant threat of loss of salary.
So prep yourself, update your resume & skills and start to look for a safer employer. Don't be a lazy dear just waiting to be shot.
And don't dump on those who are just as concerned, but doing something. Or are you unqualified and know nobody will hire you even with 3.2% unemployment.
Why the obsession with WFH ? People can slack off on their job in or out of the office. Geesh, give it rest already.
People who coast while telecommuting are the same people who coast in the office. To me coasting is coasting. It is up to their managers to ensure some base level of productivity.
Remember, capitalism is completely based on exploitation, you can spend your career being exploited by your employer, or you can exploit your employer back a bit.
grow up
I don’t mind going into the office. I’ll shift my schedule from working 10 hr days with no lunch to 8 hrs with a lunch. For some, it can be a positive to be back in the office.
So we have someone who got job accommodation to work from home. 100 of us in the office and only 1 person is working from home. Can we report this? I get it that this person is sick but that's not fair that 99 of us have to work in the office while 1 person is in the comfort of their own home. Favoritism much?
Some work from home successfully but many do not. Leadership hasn’t revisited if wfh workers should return. Can’t believe they’re missing the obvious of so many taking advantage.
Telecommuting is the future, please quit fighting it. Way too many "ringers" going into the office thinking it will save them. Not a chance. Telecommuters are the most productive employees at at&t. Stankey is an id--t, he's not fit to run a sidewalk lemonade stand.
Why should I quit my wfh job when I am a top performer and you are bottom of the barrel? Just because you go to the office. Lol. Move along clown.
someone mad they didn't get approved for TW

No.
And that’s not how it works anyway.
