re: Why do so many people get butt hurt about others working from home?

Both aren't doing much, neither understand with a click of a button we can see they are offline and for how long. They aren't answering calls in a timely manner and will be fired as soon as their replacements pass a physical. One logged on from a wifi in Orange Beach. That wouldn't be a problem if he worked as hard as everyone else.

These kinds of people would be just as unproductive and useless in an office, but unfortunately they are a blight on the rest of us who take remote work seriously.

Operations, its a 24/7 facility. When I leave, there's a manager to take my place and I leave it all behind. Don't take anything home (some materials can't be removed) nor do I do any work on my days off. I do my 36 hours a week, go home and don't think about it until the next morning.

Would you like to work in a 9-5 open office environment in downtown Atlanta or Nashville?

I think we haven’t seen a full revolution in how this will all play out.

Working remotely has become a large bargaining chip for workers these workers.

A lot of companies still have leases or own office space that they want filled to make it worth the cost. If they have an office FHAs holds 50 people and now only 30 come to that office and 20 are remote, it’s bad for the cost per head ratio. They want to get as much into that space as they can.

As companies sort through how many they need in an office they will adjust their space and actually save money by having people work remotely. They won’t need space for 50 so they’ll downsize to hold fewer.

Companies have had over 2 yrs to adjust overhead expenses relative the number of bodies in a physical office setting.

They're foolish if they haven't already renegotiated leases to reduce sqft as needed at reduced rental rates. If the company owns their own building, then downsize the footprint for needed office space and sublease the excess sqft.

Have worked remotely since Feb 2020.

I go in once a week for a couple hours to say hello.

Working remote is a huge plus if you have kids and need to knock out some chores around the house when work is slow.

Cuz 90% of people are just angry and looking for things to yell at/about instead of using energy on personal development and betterment.

I work for the government. We've been back in the office since May 2020, however other agencies are still working from home.

An old friend of mine also works for the government in a different agency that is still doing the work from home thing. She's stupid enough to post her everyday life and doesn't do a fricking thing all day during work hours. I'm talking posting herself in bed watching movies, running errands, hair appointment, etc.

THIS is what I'm "butt hurt" about. But hey, your tax dollars at work.
