Been working from home for 20 years now. Never going back.

Talked to a guy who's been working on an AI project for a fortune 500 company the other day. He said there is a very specific reason employers are bringing people back to the office. Companies are finding that work that can be done from home will soon be done by AI, so human interaction and interpersonal skills will be the most sought after skillset in the very near future.

Shoulda learned to weld

Welding is why I have my job…when parts are all 3D printed and there are no heat affected zones then there is no need for NDE or fracture mechanics on the findings.

I know this was in jest, but robotics will transform the welding industry in the next ten years. 2024 Fab Tech was basically a big robot show

When I could work from home/another time zone, I would pay more attention for a bit longer, but never be at the beck and call of anyone. (Them not knowing what country I was in at any given time was golden.)
Now, we have the "no remote work" unless approved beforehand. So, you send me an email at 7PM asking for a meeting to be moved? I have my computer with me, but I'm not opening that bitch or acknowledging your email in any way until I hit the office. Where all I do is take Teams calls that I can't hear in my half wall cube farm.

That doesn't mean it needs to be acknowledged from the phone off duty, unless you're a Site Reliability Engineer (pager duty, ho!)

I prefer working from home.

I own a business. frick that WFH shite. Come to the office or find another job. Why won’t Nancy answer my Teams chat? Oh she is picking up the kids from school at 2:30 for 2 hours so little Johnny doesn’t have to take the bus.

Yall are missing the big picture about WFH. It reduces home prices and traffic in large metroplexes. It’s good for small communities that have good infrastructure and amenities. I get that black rock needs their rent money and to sell the homes they’ve bought up in places like Houston and every other city, but thats not good for the average American.

So which is it good for again? You've listed positive outcomes for metroplexes and small communities alike.
I don't know, are Sealy and Fulshear small communities, or are they Houston? What isn't Houston? Brenham? Does Conroe count?

Full WFH with options to live anywhere is a win for Americans. Imagine being a young engineer carrying student debt into an internship and being required to live in Houston. And all of your circumstances are ABSOLUTELY BECAUSE OF your government being lobbied by the higher ed system, as well as hedge funds being allowed to buy up available domiciles and corporate rental space. So these hedge funds get to tell their tenants, who they also lend to as part of their business, that they must require in office work in a back door agreement to get loans. The system is rigged by large monopolies and they lobby elected officials and bribe government bureaucrats to make it stay that way.
This WFH conversation we have here isn’t about you being able to look at a coworker five days a week. It’s about our government and their corporate America buddies screwing the average American to make more money.
Now imagine how much better off American workers would be if they could live anywhere that has internet and still make a good wage. Wouldn’t that be better? To allow smaller markets to benefit from employee spending in various places throughout the Country instead of consolidating all the wealth into a couple dozen metros throughout the Country?
Am I wrong, or am I just an a-hole Dude?

i switched roles/departments within the company..... my new position now allows WFH to be an option. do every friday as it is now. also nice that the phone calls end at 5:00 and dont start until 7:00 or 7:30. that is coming from a side that i coul dget a call at any time, including weekends, and after normal hours, and even having to work holidays.... it refreshing to say the least.

My kid’s school district is the only one in the area that killed “virtual learning.” A day off for snow or a storm or whatever else is a day off.

Depends on the business. I am my own boss.

This is the stupidest shite I have read. You are upset because you had to work at home instead of the office during a snow day?
It’s not a federal holiday
