I know a guy that’s doing at least once a week, probably more, commute from DC to New York City. To be a product guy at a like 5 person company. As if you really need to be in a shared office to move jira tickets, ask eng again “How’s that feature coming?”, and so on. The CEO is a crazy person.
The CEO is also making the front end developer guy who lives in Connecticut come into the office 2-3 times a week. So he can work on his web page, the one with the code stored on github.
I hate all this “return to office” stuff. I don’t care about management’s feelings or real estate investments, and I don’t care about people who hate their family and can’t focus at home. Making people commute is a pay cut and a blow against labor.
I’m in a position where I work with a team of 8 fixed employees that could easily work hybrid schedules. Our manager is hybrid though, and barely spends any time at the office. It creates such a difficult dynamic- our team works together really well but when our manager does come in it feels like an intrusion almost. Immediate us vs them just because everyone else spends so much time together.

My department just got called in for an RTO with zero warning, with 3 days in person for a ~160 person department.
There are ~20 desks available. Do the math.
This next week is going to be a disaster for their coked up idea of good business practices.
Please update us if you can, that sounds like a delicious level of schadenfreude.
Yeah. Antiwork will eat it up.
@Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net Do it.
I wanna see the chaos too!
Someone should get a fog machine so visibility in the packed office drops to zero, and hand out free vuvuzelas at the entrance.
