They know you spend time in the gaming room or ping pong table or gossip with a coffee in your hand at the cafeteria for hours. They still want you back in office. It’s no longer an argument. All that ‘hybrid’ work was just an illusion of choice. Companies are still stuck. Like someone above me said, it’s about control.

Mid-managers are being given extra allowances for ‘team outings’. Then there’s ‘free breakfast’ and other ‘free’ things. Finally, managers are also being evaluated for the number of people in their team that they can get to come to the office - the more people in their team they can get to come to office, the more pat on the back they get.

It’s no longer a debate of whether you are productive at home or in office. They just want you back in office. Simple as that. The why? I don’t know.

/Friend works in corporate real estate. “Employees in IT companies just don’t want to go back and it’s a HUGE headache for companies…” is what he told me (roughly).

Yeah 20 something - “Sophomore at some Uni”.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I didn’t level out emotionally until 35. Many people at 40.

Is it that person whose name starts with a K? That fellow blocked my server when I had innocently mentioned that the Fedi software I use also has all the features that they’re talking about. Of course, after spewing a whole gamut expletives and abusive words. Certainly didn’t miss out on anything.

If I were a user of that server, I would run away - AVOID servers where the admins can’t maintain their cool, remain calm and collected and take things personally - think of how they would react if you say something against a decision they make.
