Why Companies NEED People Back In The Office

You gotta love corporations

Called it. All about manipulation and not money

so glad people are waking up. I used to be held hostage by my bosses talking my ear off at the office. Never got any work done till they left the room. These managers need to stop expecting the world to feed their egos and lick their boots

Imagine selling all those useless office buildings and converting them into accomodations. Or tear them down and build new homes. Considering most office buildings are in areas which lack affordable housing the could really help people out.

Such negative messages about distrust in the US workspace. Is that the reality?

This is all increasingly miserable and BS. Just shows how capitalism is just winging it and is not only one and only solution to our advancement. In fact, it is just needed for those with greed and other quirks who need reinforcement of their psychological problems.

I don’t know. There is no reason to believe any research studies that work from home is more productive. We are currently in an environment where many research studies use fake data. Peer review seldom takes place. Sometimes it cannot take place because the people doing the studies refuse to provide their data.

What makes this particular study claim so suspect is that it defies human nature. It’s natural for human beings to be less hard working in an unsupervised relaxing environment all by themselves. The only exception to this natural trait is if you are working for yourself, and even that factor is not reliable.

My last corporate accounting job tried to get us to come back into office. Didn’t quite go to plan when 2 other accountants quit and our FPA manager found elsewhere to work from home. If companies want to demand that, fine, but they’re going to be losing crucial personnel.

How does the idea of in-person work socially engineering incentives to work harder/longer (reason 4) fit with data showing higher productivity at home?

Customer confidentiality is the main reason you ALL should want companies to get back into a controlled work environment…. Trust me I’ve been in tech business development and focused in security…this is a nightmare waiting to happen…plus the number of productivity were outright 100% opposite of the reality … teams are more productive in office setting

They can't control you 😂

Recognition like employee of the month goes a long way ..... haha, this video is funny

Corner office and secretary bringing coffee, is that really a perk?

Companies are trying desperately to justify the sunk costs in their expensive office holdings along with an org chart that could use a pruning of useless management.

In pandemia season I had online classes (college) and it was a nightmare coz my private life was melted with college life. I think that sometimes knowing that you have to prepare yourself and go out is actually good for motivation.

Sorry, but the oligarchical shareholders can go ffkk themselves. Also, my late father telecommuted for his job at NOAA/NODC since the mid to late 90s (mainly because previous rethuglikkkan administrations froze the hiring process and cut back on their fundings, thus they had to be frugal while doing important work in exposing Big Oil's Big Lie about climate change), so it's definitely a possibility to work from home. The rest of the private sector don't want any of that because they're control freaks with no hobbies worth talking about.

Still not hearing a good reason to return to the office, just manager egos and short sighted profits that do not benefit the long term health of the company.

if we can bag travel time...That's a huge time and money saver.

Why? A majority of the cubicles in the country could be at home. To this videos point, working from home is cheaper. Much to many commenters point and knowing how corporate America is, its control and you should fight back.

Reason #2 is a theory and should be presented as such

As a tradesman pulling 200k to 250k each year on a job site. You WFH people are annoying. Learn a real skill and you’ll get paid real money. Until then don’t cry to us about how your life is so miserable. Most of you besides the occasional tech engineers, lawyers, etc. Just don’t have good jobs and you’ll make up whatever excuse you can find to avoid your job at the office. It’s hysterical. We’re tired of you. Those of us with real jobs and valuable skills don’t wake up every morning and complain about driving to work. Give me a break……

I actually like office more, because i tend to work more at home and its therefore more stressful

Wfh..all the way. Office is full of distractions.

Call centers lay off their employees anyhow. There is no way to move up to anything. PEOPLE WHO WORK IN CALL CENTERS HAVE BAD HEALTH INSURANCE EVEN IF THEY ARE BUYING IT.

It's not cheaper for it's workers because GAS IS EXPENSIVE AND SOME PLACES COMMUTES ARE HELL.

If there’s nobody in the office, they can’t write off the office.

CEO’s who want workers back in the office need to address an issue I don’t hear them talking about, which is that in many urban centers office workers don’t feel safe riding in public transit and walking from transit stations to their offices. CEO’s have limousines or at least a car service and are insulated from the real world.

If you work from home, you don't need a bigger office, so how would we be able to coerce you to ruin your personal life and health on pretending to work unproductive extra hours, in order for us to get a big fat bonus by ramping up some artificial numbers in a PowerPoint presentation we'd be incapable of producing without constantly interrupting you to ask how to Ctrl+V.

So, reason 2 is literally just the sunk cost fallacy... we're paying/paid for offices, so YOU have to use it!

They want to infect us with the new virus, and it's easier if we gather in their human farms

1) workers are not the most expensive asset of a company, is the most productive one. But if we put all the persons of a comoany in line from the cheapest to the most expensive one, we'll find most of the executives have absurd incomes for the work they actually do.
Those executives have parasitic behavior, their incomes, that actually depends on workers productivity they just believe that depends on shareholders happiness, so they are a captain throwing rowers to the sea to release ballast to gain speed because the owners of the boat want him to go faster....(but he is keeping an entire luxurious appartment in the boat....)
Workers should never be less than 70% of the shareholders

Ah yes the "face to face collaboration" excuse yet all meetings in the office are still done on Teams.

More better... lol

Time to quiet quit the office. When they see mass quitting because of the return to the office they’ll get the memo.

What I don't understand is that we are hindering the evolution of how we work to cling to these old ways that are clearly redundant by now. The times are changing, it's best to go with the current than it is to swim against it fr

So the simple solution is to sell the building, and just get a 3 room office for the higher ups and continue making money.

Returning employees to the office won't reduced the rent; remotely working won't increase the rent. In other words, using rent as the excuse is bogus.

When unemployment ramps up, everyone would be back in the office... Americans like to talk big when times are good

My managers hate this, but we all know it’s real estate and hand shakes with the cities where the offices are.

Been there done that. Never going back to working in an office again. My skill set is 100% combatable with remote work.

People are spoilt, it's for the employer to decide what model they want. 3 years ago , no one was working from home , we all are lazy working from home .

Oh, I remember every. single. salary I ever made.

It's all about justifying the existence of "People's Manager" having almost non existent hard skills. They can't do anything if remote work is in place.

The corporate is not a place where doing the right thing matters. Corporate is a place where politics and micromanaging matters at cost of actual company and societal benefit. I have seen successful projects being Canned after change of management just because it was being done by the previous management.

I cant be a condom tester and get paid for it from home

The company i work for loves remote work and is using it to weed out the useless middle management. Our stock price is through the roof

I'm on disability benefits so I don't have to worry about working so I feel pretty bad about people who have to deal with this crap everyday. Which is why I should just move to China and eat a couple more bats to start a new pandemic so that you guys can stay home. 😂😂😂😂

You clearly don't know how things work✌️
