So now we have had rto/hybrid for 3 weeks now and i think it is completely BS!
Productivity:
- I am way less productive in office, because of background noise, someone stopping by at the cube, bathroom breaks take much longer, going to cafe for food/coffee.
Health:
- spending more time in commute+being in office so i can't prepare food at home, exercise when i want and go back to work or spend time with family and friends outside of work.
I have way less energy after coming back home to exercise and then prepare food.
WLB:
While we got way more work, wfh because we were getting more done. I feel it still left me with lot of time to do other things.
Unpopular opinion: commute,dressing up time, gas etc. needs to be compensated on top of full time pay.
So i feel that companies dont care about workers and are calling us back because managers feel less important when they dont see everyone present in their useless team meetings and rich people thinking real estate prices around offices would drop if rto isn't done.

How about your ALREADY being compensated to do the job you were hired to do.
WFH was always going to be a temporary thing for most companies. Some decided to go that way, sure but others were always intending for people to return to office.
It’s a bit disingenuous to have taken a job, knowing that you’ll have to return to office and now start complaining about the fact.
If you think you can find a wfh job with another company than do so, but complaint about the job you agreed to do for the money you agreed on is ridiculous.
Only either of it should be true right? WFH is efficient or we need foreign work force to come USA for work.?
Assuming ~.5c per mile (NOT just gas like most people do)
Ie: one way 30 min 10 mile commute -> 1 hour and $10 wasted.
One way 1 hour and 20 mile commute -> 2 hours and $20 wasted per day. Even $10 and an hour savings each day would go to $100 and 10 hours a month saved at 10 days in office, double that for 20 days.
Realistically people moving to ~ Pleasanton are driving over 60 miles round-trip to for example Mountain View which is probably about $30 a day, $300-$600 per month in commute costs
In office, I don't know if its the pressure of having eyes physically on them or maybe they're boxed out of being able to talk by extroverts jumping in instantly to respond to everything in meeting room but for whatever reason they're much more reclusive. It'll be a genuine regression for that reason alone imo.
