Working from home is phenomenal and comes with a ton of life-oriented benefits. Apart from the companies that are forcing individuals to come back to the office, say your company gave you a choice. Question: What benefits or quality of life measures would the company have to put in place for you to consider working in office on your own accord via hybrid schedule? #tech #wfh #officelife #meta #google #hybrid
Where's the option for "I miss the office"? I want the work/home separation, the camaraderie, the frequent conversations, lunches with coworkers. Unfortunately I moved recently, and there's no NVIDIA office nearby. Before moving, I was basically in the office every day.
What do you miss about it?

What benefits could beat a shitty commute? Until they invent a teleporter and give me one for free, I’m staying home
Another aspect of this is whether your company has a local office or not. We have a lot of remote hires who joined over the past two years in locations where there is no corporate office. If you forced them to relocate there would be a lot of attrition, and opportunity for companies not forcing those individuals to relocate.
Seeing my family more and being able to be there for my kids if they’re sick etc. and not having to commute is priceless. Now imagine some shitty boomer company trying to take that away from you despite you showing you are successfully productive at home. Makes me wonder why more folks haven’t caused some sort of workplace violence being forced back into the office 4-5 days a week.
Who said it's not happening? Maybe not violence, but toxic mean behavior from someone who was forced back to office like sheep herded to the pen
Good point, I’m fully remote but if I was forced back into the office after being fully remote for a large period of time I’d definitely be pissed as fk and would no longer interact with coworkers. I’d put work on pause and grind as much interview prep as I could for a remote opportunity.
The only benefit I need is office located in a nice neighborhood, but 99% of corporate offices are located in HCOL areas with shitty housing, high crime etc etc
The only things I like about the office are being social (assuming I like my coworkers) and it can be useful for some meetings. My “hybrid” ideal is going in a couple times a month with the expectation the days will mostly be about face time and not heads down work. I find office is largely a distraction that eats up time and makes it harder to get actual work done. There are no benefits (outside of drastically increasing pay) a company could give me that would incentivize me to burn time for the sake of company culture, unless I’m extremely into the company mission.
Additional commute allowance and/or free cab pickup to and fro home
I’m fully remote and I prefer it. I’d be down to go back if my company gave me perks that at least match my current situation. 1) pay bump for time spent commuting and getting ready 2) a company car for me to commute in 3)A private office (have a big office at home) Anything less and I’d be compromising on my quality of life and productivity for the company.
I forgot to include that my fourth requirement would be a private bathroom Or floor to ceiling stalls in all public bathroom. I never want to take an office poop again.
Office poops 💀💀
Same here, they would have to pay me at least 40k more to go full time in the office, EU based.

Why no one cares about the lives lost in Gaza, Israel and busy in their own lives?
I wouldn’t go back for less than double my current comp. I could care less about any of the benefits or quality of life things that are implemented.
What if you had a WFH offer at the same time for 1.5x current TC? Which would you take?
This - I’d work in an office for 750+ cash. Why should we go back to shitty commutes otherwise?
