When you actually like the place you work and can tolerate the people you work with, it's easy to reason that going into an office once in a while might present some benefit. But if you're being forced to go into an office where no one talks to each other (except under duress) just to do all of your work alone in an isolated room and all your meetings over Zoom anyway… It's easy to scratch your head and wonder what the point of all this really is.
This worker shared how their employer made the decision to return their workforce to the office after the entire team had been working from home for the last four years. The exasperated workers made clear their intentions to leave if they were forced to return, but when the organization went ahead with it regardless, 50% of the total staff quit, leaving the remaining workers to work in a tragically understaffed office space on site. The worker shared their thoughts and frustrations in a post to a popular online workplace discussion, sparking discussion on the subject.
