I like my boss and colleagues, but we have an option to work hybrid and working from home 3 days a week is awesome because there aren’t any office distractions and I get to do the in person thing for those that need it twice a week. Some people do go into the office every day because that works better for them, and the flexible arrangement works really well for everyone overall.

Now imagine: being home without working!

When I see this type of thing my default assumption is the actual source is ChatGPT. The article is attributed to “the editorial team” but that link just goes to a list of other articles and credits no-one. But somehow they’re putting out like 20 a day, all of them similarly lacking sources or authors, and only linking to other articles on the same site. Plus the writing style is full of AI-isms.

working does not make us thrive

Mandatory WFH isn’t as good as optional WFH.
After all it’s being able to choose, what makes most people with “WFH option” happy and thriving.
It sounds like you have found your balance between office and WFH. Now find a workplace that allows living that balance!
All the best!

Hybrid is the way

This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies.

Well then, list the sources, you twits. Also “editorial technologies” sounds suspiciously like “AI”.

The almost equivalent claim is that going to work sucks. This second claim is perhaps more instructive.

Now we need a genius architect to convert all of that office space into homes for the homeless. That includes changing any laws that would prevent that from happening.

Having a purpose makes us thrive. In some cases, it could be work.

There’s no superhero coming to save you. Bother your local city council yourself, or at least donate to groups who will.

Not when these losers are trying to make work from home look bad. I’m honestly betting it’s some middle management shill.

Different people prefer doing things in different ways, that should be obvious?

Anyone have a link to the actual study?

…Right?

“This article is supported by verified sources and supported by editorial technology”

Cool… So if those sources are verified you won’t mind sharing them with me?

The fish step is realizing that it’s a possibility. The second step is to create awareness. This person just made it to step two. Let’s cheer them on!

Someone needing to be constantly monitored to be effective isn’t a different way of doing something, it is acting like a child.

That is not what they said. I could argue you are acting like a child.

Wait, we’re thriving?

Working from home makes life significantly better, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Well, I don’t need saving, but others do. There is no such thing as a superhero but I agree…there is lots of bureaucracy and administration! Going through proper channels while the world burns is not something I put a whole lot of faith in when the first knee-jerk response to anything is the economic cost. Sometimes the people have to get involved, not the systems (which are decidedly lacking nowadays).
