None of this matters if you were originally hired as a remote worker and your job duties didn't require you in the office setting.

Are you really trying to claim that people who work in an office don't go to doctor appointments?
When I worked in an office, I wasn't allowed to work late. Any time off for a doctor was lost productivity. Now that I work from home, I can see my doctor and put in a full day's work. Your old timey thinking actually reduces productivity.
Every time it ices here, the local offices close. I never get an ice day. Once again, WFH proves to be more productive if you're competent enough to do your job without a manager over your shoulder.

No reason they should be paid the same staying home.
Work from home eliminates overhead which gives companies more money for wages and bonuses. All you people who can't function unless you're in an office should have lower wages for costing the company more money.
You'd rather your employer spend money on rent and electricity than salaries, and that makes no sense.

Exactly.
Nobody has the right to demand a wfh position. You have to negotiate it. If it's given, then it's yours until they say you can't do it anymore. Otherwise, people are just complaining. While I may feel for them. there's nothing you can do except come in or go get another job. Simple enough.

People abuse the situation working from home( not all but certain individuals); now many file for accommodations” due to physical health issue” then it’s really really difficult to get rid of certain people who in addition claim they now hv a physical condition that is protected by the ADA with the federal or state governments. Or expect a law suit;eeo, etc

meanwhile, the spokesperson for doge's office of personnel management, mcalurine pinover, has been filming instagram videos in her office modeling clothes which she gets a cut of if viewers buy them

While tens of thousands of Washington DC federal workers are being laid off, one Trump administration official tasked with cutting bureaucracy appears to have been using her government office to film fashion influencer videos.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has led the charge to slash the federal workforce under the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but its chief spokesperson appears to be completely off-message.
McLaurine Pinover has been posting video after video not to justify mass layoffs but to moonlight as an aspiring Instagram fashion influencer to her 800 followers.
In dozens of videos filmed directly inside her official OPM office, Pinover can be seen modeling sleek blazers, $475 skirts, and $300 dresses, tagging posts with #dcstyle and #dcinfluencer, while also linking to commission-based clothing sites.
Many of the posts appear to have been published on the very same days thousands of federal employees have been asked to justify their jobs or face termination.

According to many here, she should have been fired
But politics ... if your guy does it, it's not ok but if my guy does it, it is.

a typical job is not as productive when you are at your house. There is no way of convincing me otherwise.
Why should anyone bother to convince you? Shouldn't the only person who should concern themselves with WFH are the people responsible for the productivity of the workers?
Is really where you sit more important than how productive you are?

obviously you are talking about 2 different jobs right? whyu can you work late at home but not from the office?

and apparently your job is so easy it can be done at home so you should make less...sorry you can't comprehend that some peoples jobs are needed in office bc it would cost more money for a company to make copies of work that is needed at a moments notice but would be way to expensive to copy and send out to multiple people.

if you were hired to do your job at home and the company changed it's policy to require you to come to the office would you ask to be compensated differently than you were from home?

Why would you try to deny handicap people a job? Why do you automatically assume people are just lazy and you don't even know them?

You hv no idea what you are talking about. Many of these same people were not doing their job to begin with; but it literally takes an act of Congress to fire them; so you try to bring them back into the office ; only for them to apply for work at home accommodations; then you really got a problem; when you point out they are not meeting their standards and hv complaint after complaints: they become protected . Mean while the employees who meet their standards time after time complain; hey how is this fair!

Again; what are you talking about; these people are already working; in addition I would never hire someone who can not perform the essential functions of the job with or without accommodating; a person still has to be able to do the job period!

What job are you referring to?? I work all day with time sensitive documents, we use email, docusign, and file servers lol. All of our clients have email on their phones that they carry everywhere. There is zero need for me to be in office other than somebody preferring a one on one/look into your eyes kind of meeting.
As far as job complexity goes, radiologists making $600k a year make plenty of reads at their home desks. Engineers & architects crank out projects at home regularly. Lawyers spend most of their time in court, out of office. "Easy" has nothing to do with WFH so what are you really trying to say here??

You still have to use sick time to go to a doctor's appointment if you're working from home. Accountability for your time doesn't just vanish.

Landry works remotely some of the time.

No reason they should be paid the same staying home. And all employees who don't do their job at work or at home should lose their job.
People working in an office do many things they don't do while working form home. Take 2 hour lunches, sit on the shitter for 30 minutes, have their time wasted by Cherly from accounting in the cube next to them because she won't STFU for 45 minutes about her cats, post on message boards for hours at a time.
The fact that people think being in an office suddenly makes people not waste time throughout the day is baffling to me.

The boomer fetish of asses in cubicles to sit at a computer all day never ceases to amaze me.
If you aren't doing your job, whether in the office or at home, then you're fired. Simple as that. Why all the performance. If people are productive at home, let them be there and have more time with their family, and keep the roads clear of traffic for me.
It's pretty crazy that with today's tech monitoring on employee laptops, in addition to work product reviews, managers actually managing, that we still have this obsession with people in America being forced into tin cans to work.
I get that some jobs have face to face requirements, but you can't convince me that most do.

Working from home does has some benefits like.during inclimate weather conditions which benefits both the employee and employer. The main issue is state and federal specific employees who are not doing there jobs in the first place.
Posted on 3/12/25 at 2:50 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
The way I look at it as long as you are able to sufficiently and productively do your job who cares where you do it from. For example I'm in the office finished everything that needed to be done and could possibly do right after lunch. Rest of the day is just killing time
