I tell you, I don't want to go back to the office. No way no how. Or at least not 5 days a week. Company I work for is getting pressured or greased by the city to have a bunch of us back cuz restaurants were eating well off of us. Since working from home I've saved a little bit of money. Not paying for a parking lease, ordering out for lunch once a week, if even that, when before I'd eat out 3-5 times a week pre pandemic. I dont miss snowy commutes, rainy commutes, getting off on a Wednesday and its storming outside and everybody forgets how to drive all of a sudden and we're in neverending traffic. I don't miss small talk with coworkers. I dont miss nosy coworkers. I dont miss elevator conversations. I don't miss "brief" meetings where I have to be present despite having no input to give. I dont miss ordering something and one of my work wives overhears and she wants to order something too that she'll pay for fine enough, but she wont go pick it up, and her order is always messed up for some reason. I dont miss gossiping, cattyness, chatty Patty's.

Yeah, fukk onsite work.

All of this.

Im in the same exact situation.

My mom works for the city and is about to retire because of this shyt. She's already in her 60's so she fine with doing so.

That means I'm about to have me a full time (free) babysitter.

Most buildings in the city were made for office work, so it's gonna be hell for the guy paying rent for nothing .

A good compromise is going into the office twice every other week or something.

Don't nobody wanna spend 1 hour commuting to work and 1 hour back fukk all that

A Permanent Telework Policy and Telework Options for New York City Employees - Action Network


To: New York City employee unions, Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City Council Members, and all candidates for New York City elected office
From: [Your Name]

"When the COVID-19 pandemic reached New York in early 2020, New York City did not have a telework policy. The City implemented a temporary telework policy and New York City employees have kept New York running throughout the pandemic. We proved that we can reliably and successfully telework. It is time for teleworking to become a permanent option for City employees. "


"While working side-by-side offers impromptu opportunities for collaboration and team building, technological advances have made these activities possible working remotely. We now know, much of what we do does not require us to be in-person to be efficient. On the contrary, there is good evidence from global studies that telework frees employees from common office-place distractions "

The workers really don't want to come back to the offices


But I don't think the NYC officials really would care about this. Those building leases have to get paid

Plus there are thousands of Building Workers that are out of a job because office workers are working from home

I’m never going back to an office.

She don't wanna babysit that block head ass kid while she retired

I don't care if yall don't miss chatty patty. That's a situation yall need to handle within the organization and learn how to handle confrontation. If my paper work and business was handled quicker with everyone in office. That's how it needs to be unless yall figure out how to continue to work as efficiently remotely as in office, cuz obviously, there has been a decrease in work efficiency to sacrifice the comfort of individuals

I work better at home. But they want me back, then they getting a less efficient 50CentStan I'm shooting the shyt at work 90% of the day

 

[FaTaL]

They don't want to hop in those rat infested subways rushing to work

No, they don’t want to live in ny anymore

The Pandemic is still going on. People still dying.

The trauma of the pandemic, and the potential of another pandemic later down the line, scarred workers for life. Thats a huge liability to send people back to a cramped indoor place where germs and diseases run rampant.

Let's face it, WFH changed life forever. These old employers dont understand that micro-managing your employees will drive them away from you.

Slippery slope

Working from home is nice, but part of me does want to go back to the office (and our client sites). In my line of work I have to manage audits while also teaching new staff, with a lot of them not knowing what to do. Half my day is spent on video calls with the team showing them how to do their jobs which I often have to end up correcting/redoing when I review their work. Its harder to teach when not in person. Its also harder to get client deliverables because they are working remotely as well.
