Is going to work inconsiderate if you can work remotely?

Are the people that are going to work who can just as easily work remotely (emphasis added) inconsiderate of others? If you think about it, if they work in an office complex, they are constantly touching doors, elevators, hand rails, bathrooms, mailing rooms, gas pump handle to/from their commute, and so forth.

So, if you can easily work remotely and not lose a step, is going to work selfish or inconsiderate of mankind?

I think they're lacking intelligence if they CHOOSE to go to work instead of working from home during all of this. Why risk anything when you can do your job from home just as effectively in your underwear?

People will be shocked at how many that have been given permission to work remotely all of a sudden "need to go into the office" after a week or so.

Working at home can absolutely get boring.

I have 2 days in the field this week and I'm trying to hide my excitement to get out of this house from my wife

My typical schedule is alternating. Work from home Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday.

I'll be losing my mind by Thursday.

Depends on your circumstances. If your office isnt crowded, not.

It's both inconsiderate and moronic.

I would say yes. I'm a GM of a hotel and having to go in when I'd honestly rather not. No idea what the guests who are even staying here have been exposed to in the last 14 days. Revenue is essentially non-existent at this point, and it will only get worse from a numbers standpoint if that's even possible.

Yes it’s fricking idiotic. I wish at this point I could work from home. I’m in a moral dilemma at this point.

I worked at home all last week, have to be in the office today to help put in a proposal on a very large project, then will be working from home the rest of this week and next. I’d be lying if i told you i wasnt stoked as hell to get up early and come in to work today.

That being said, my floor normally has about 75 people on it, and right now we are at about 15 people. But once i’m done today i will be more than happy to hunker back down at home.

Im at my office. We only have 5 in this one total, but run 4 crews through it.

Its my responsibility to make sure we keep billing work and collecting what we can, so the 70 or so employees we have don't starve.


I feel GREAT about coming in today, moreso than ever.

I'm at my office now. The door is locked and we're doing appointments by telephone. I'm the only one here now. Someone else is coming in later but we'll be in different offices and practice social distancing. I could work from home but all my shite is here and I'd have to be coming back and forth anyway.

physical presence is needed for my job. No traffic this morning so that was nice.

It's laughable you think people are as productive at home working through virtual access as they are in the office.

Especially dumb considering kids are home from school.

I worked from home last week, I got more done before 9sm today then all of last week. I work as an engineer for a large chemical facility and the amount of people trying to work remotely is killing the speed of the VPN and overall killing productivity

No reason to go in if you can work remotely, unless you're just far more productive at the office. I'll go in for a few hours here and there because there are some systems I can't access remotely for security reasons. There are very few people in my area of the office that aren't working remotely though so I don't really interact with anyone.

Only 2 people in my office so there is that and we work on opposite sides of a triple wide job trailer. My wife is a teacher and she is teaching her class at home in the kitchen while my daughter who is in 5th grade is starting her first on line classes with her teacher today in her bedroom so frick that shite, I am coming to the office.
