Comment on Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower

  To collaborate with the team, of course…

    My friend’s job has hybrid RTO and it basically means half the team is still out when you’re in the office so they still meet on Zoom/Teams, haha…what a waste

      Same here… we get one day in the office, I have tried to make the best of it but nobody cares, I find myself there with less than half the team to:

      • hop around until I get a desk where everything I need works

      • get interrupted by people not on my team all the time because why not say hi

      • get complaints because all my meetings are Teams anyway and everyone is mad they hear a crowd when I am not unmuted

      • Lose 45 mins of my life getting ready and another 1.5 in traffic (round trip) to work less in the office

        You are missing the best part, the highly increased chance of dying from the most dangerous form of modern day travel.

      The other reality is that even with full RTO, in a position like mine, I’m working with groups spanning about 12hrs of time zones. I’m not seeing half the group anyway, so what’s the point of going in when everyone is still taking the calls at their desks?

  So that we feel vindicated in actually owning your productive time. So that management can show they add value by watching you work.
