This is an unstated truth where I work too.

Gen Xers and boomers are giving up on hybrid work: They're either all in or out on the office

Workers aged 50-64 are most likely to be fully on-site or work from home full time, new data shows, while those 20-29 are most likely to work hybrid.

I believe I'm technically hybrid as I'm attached to a regional office, but I've been in once since March 2020.

In the light blue but yellow all the way

Great way to under the radar discriminate against women, POC, the differently abled, and particularly WOC.

Remote work more important than salary for 63% of US workers - Interesting Engineering

Reducing your salary to secure remote work amidst the cost-of-living crisis may seem extreme, but upon closer scrutiny, it proves rational.

Dell is ignoring an inconvenient truth: the best way to get promoted is to leave and find a job with a new employer. Over time, their policy will just drive the best people to find a new employer.

Texas leads the U.S. in return to the office. Only major metros above 55% occupancy (all 3 cities in TX). Only about half of offices in U.S. are occupied at current. I wonder what the rate was pre-COVID.

Our Texas footprint shrank by about 2/3 or so. Sublease of the other space.

They still have trouble getting folks to come in. Even with free food and other incentives. They keep the space for large events, but otherwise it's "occupied" but not really

Looks like NYC is starting to bounce back. DC, not so much.

Folks under the age of say, 30, don't have, plant to have, or want- kids. Kids is 95% of the driver for flexible hours (at least for the folks that work here).

I saw a YouTube video where this person was making the case that in office people need to be compensated for time spent commuting and other things.

One thing that was mentioned was 1/2 hour showering and getting ready. Outside of the fact that 1/2hour to get ready seems high to me, the bigger question is……do WFH people not shower, brush their teeth, etc if they don’t go into the office? That seems nasty.

Idk about shower and teeth time but if I had to go to an office my “clock” would start the second I started my truck.

How would you know?

The smell when you walk by them at the store would be one place.

I guess I shower, brush my teeth (shaving is 50/50) and get cleaned up for the day every day. I feel better and do better also when I clean up.

I meant the wfh folks. I was thinking they want to get paid for needing to do something to be presentable, clean and “nice-looking” to go to an office. When WFH, they could do all that whenever they wanted. Wasn’t thinking they’d never take showers, etc.

I was thinking it was something they did anyhow.

Even WFH, Get on a conference call with bed head greasy hair and food stuffed between your teeth?

That just sounds like the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Get paid for commuting? Unless they moved offices on you after you got hired, that's your decision on where to live and/or work.

Sounds like the people who wanted to get compensated for having to get higher internet speeds or increased power usage since they were now WFH.

I still think the dumbest WFH story I heard was an hourly employee who wanted to be paid OT since they were doing there work early in the morning and later at night outside of normal business hours while their kids were out of school over the summer.

I was 100% remote, now 2 days remote.

When I was 100% remote
Wake up at 5, go downstairs and watch TV for an hour and have some coffee.
At 6am, go upstairs brush my teeth and start work
11am lunch
1pm workout
2pm shower
Work for a couple more hours
Non workout days. I'd probably shower 1/2 the days

Now when I go to work
Wake up at 4:30 and shower
Leave for work at 5:30
Take 30 minute lunch
Leave work around 3

In the office, my day is a lot more structured but I don't spend one extra minute at work.
