    Capitalist, socialist, or whatever, you have to admit that this is an extremely stupid hill to die on.

    What’s the companies’ obsessions with in person office work anyway? Most companies reported anywhere from no productivity loss to improved productivity once they got into the swing of WFH, and now they don’t have to buy or rent office spaces. More importantly, most workers report lower stress, better morale, and more free time due to not commuting (which also has the benefit of cutting down on emissions). Seems like a win-win for everyone.

        Or to put it in nicer terms… it is about company loyalty. If you spend most of your day in a physical place and in physical contact with your co-workers and your entire life is organized around that workplace, then you are much more loyal to the company and thus much easier to exploit.

        When they talk about compay ‘culture’ being negatively impacted this is what they mean lol

        I’ve always wanted as little physical contact with my co-workers as possible. Listening to them screaming across the office, watching them picking their noses, and hearing them prattle on about the inanities of their lives tends to do that to me.

            Oh, I enjoy spending time with people I choose to spend time with, just not with people foisted upon me. Basically, “friends” over “family”.

      Harassing online isn’t as fun as harassing in person.

        TBH this reeks of manager god complex. “I need the peasents in the office so I can feel better about my sad life by making the people under my management worse!”
