I just got the word that in May, employees at my company will be categorized into "work from home", "hybrid", or "work from office". At worst, I'll be in the hybrid group because there's no reason for me to be in the "work from office" group.
TBH, this should have been implemented years ago. It's just sad that it took a global pandemic to make it happen. Fookin' boomers...
inb4 "work from home" actually means "you're fired"...

I never go into the office nor is there a reason for me to go into the office - my time/work is better spent on a job site but that would require the company to shell out more money for hotel/travel/food on my behalf.
It seems they don't want to do it.

Working from home is inefficient and boring af. Eventually people get distracted and productivity goes down. Sitting down in an office for 8 hours focused will never happend working from home.
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

TBH, I'm at least as productive at home as I am at the office. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Today would be an example of "less" because I literally didn't do anything work related today. But as long as the work gets done, who cares?Originally Posted by Merc009

Make sure to sign up to the work from office group or hybrid
The "work from home" will soon get fired, srs, this is the plan: map out non essential american workers and transfer the jobs to overseas once it is clear that they dont need you there physically.
Theres really no upside to hiring an American making 80k for an entry level office role vs hiring Abdul from Pakistan who will work 14 hr days for 20k a year. 30k a year for an Abdul who speaks perfect english**MISC Firearms Crew**

That'd be a real concern for companies that do non-government or DoD work for sure. I feel there ought to be laws against U.S. companies preferring to hire non-Americans or something. It's doesn't seem right that they get to reap all of the benefits from being headquartered in the U.S. yet at the same time, screw over Americans. If they want to hire Abduls, then they need to move to where the Abduls live.Originally Posted by Beast92
That being said, I'm probably pretty safe for now since my department only deals with government contracts that require a clearance.

I wonder if "work from home" will eventually turn into "outsourced".
1-2 days work from home and the rest in the office is where it is at IMO.
