I'm curious. I have a potential job opportunity, but it's not remote and I think I'll just stay with my current situation, which is fully remote.

Seems like any job that doesn't require face to face customer/client interaction, so pretty much every office job.What types of jobs do you have all have that work at home? Seems appealing to me
This thread makes the assumption that most on here work. Guessing there are quite a few retired folks as well as those that abuse the government teat.
I work hybrid. Usually two days at home and three in the office depending on my travel schedule.
Yeah co workers are the worst part of work. Looking to retire next summer due to the drive and crazy co workers. Would work for 5 more years if I could work from home.We do four weeks in the office and four weeks at home. There is zero need to ever be in the office, so I assume the reasoning is that they just don't want to relinquish total control. I could see justifying it while the lease was in tact, but they've recently renewed the lease. We did downsize a bit (got rid of our bottom floor and now split cubes/offices with the people on the opposite rotation).
Had I not been able to work from home during year-end last year, I'd have been screwed. I put a lot of extra hours in that would have sucked to have to do at the office. This year, I'll be in the office during this time. So I expect to be an about rattlesnake during that month.
I also have a few co-workers who are pretty psychotic, so being in the office is not good for my well-being. I'm psychotic, too, so it's like the west wing at the psych ward up there. But I can hide my psycho, and they can't. Working with them sucks quite a bit.
D. I don't work.I'm curious. I have a potential job opportunity, but it's not remote and I think I'll just stay with my current situation, which is fully remote.
I predicted that you would get it wrong.Seems like any job that doesn't require face to face customer/client interaction, so pretty much every office job.
i'm a bikini inspector. can do it all remotely but it's better in person.What types of jobs do you have all have that work at home? Seems appealing to me
Expecting employees to come in is more about accountability and justifying the lease or purchase of office space. You can do a lot of jobs remotely and virtually. The days of sending someone on a plane to go meet with a team for 30 minutes should be over. They days of getting a few handshakes should be over. There are ways to keep accountability and monitor productivity.
Only issue of course is keeping the employee motivated, productive, and focused on the job.
There is a new trend and that’s people working two remote full time jobs now. If you can keep from burning out and stay productive and advance the company, by all means go for it. But I just can’t see that as a long term lifestyle. I could do a part time consulting gig on the side but no way would I want to do two full time remote jobs.

They don’t learn shit .i'm a bikini inspector. can do it all remotely but it's better in person.
it's good for the younger employees to go into the office. they learn how to be a professional, learn the company culture, etc. people who have been around have no reason to go in.
Some sales jobs can be done 100% over the phone. Some have to be done 100% in person. Some a mix. It depends. If you have a sales job which requires face to face interaction (like a pharmaceutical rep), that cant be done fully remote from homeI predicted that you would get it wrong.
I’m in sales.
I either work over the phone, or I go to the customer.
They don’t learn shit .
Company culture is set by admin based on hiring and training

I can't imagine going back to a typical 9-5 type of office job. So much time is wasted just traveling back and forth.
Wow. Stereotype much? Sounds like you have a real problem working with people who you report to.The only people who want people in the office are worthless and insecure management types
What does that mean exactly?... as those that abuse the government teat.
Pharm reps absolutely do not need face to face time .Some sales jobs can be done 100% over the phone. Some have to be done 100% in person. Some a mix. It depends. If you have a sales job which requires face to face interaction (like a pharmaceutical rep), that cant be done fully remote from home
I’ll read the research - feel free to link it .that's not true. there are whole industries who research this stuff, you know.
