My employer wants me to start coming in to the newsroom three days a week soon. How about you?

I've worked in a grocery store the last 4 years. Three of my customers who were heavy drinkers died and everyone has forgotten their manners.

Life moves on, we deal with shit we don't like all the time. That's normal. You'll be fine.

I've been back in the office full time for almost a year now. Apparently no one remembers that I was not on leave during the worst of the Covid crisis and all my requests to telecommute have died an early death. What is it with body count and American superivsors?

Businesses have found out, some the hard way, that during the pandemic yes indeed they can operate their organizations remotely. I am not going to state the obvious. But for the well-being of all involved in the business's decisions-the workers, the planet, cities...-why not have folks work remotely. If not just have them come in so many times a week. If logically created performance measures-KPIs- are implemented that can help leaders measure the productivity of the worker, why not. I believe the 9-5, chained to a desk, 5 days a week, is over. I saw a great video of LinkedIn changing their office space format from cubicles to different types of worker stations from hot desks, permanent stations, conference rooms, capitalizing on advanced video technology, and even living room sittings that bring workers together for short periods of time. The pandemic was the catalyst. It's all about capitalizing on technology and thinking differently.

Having never worked from home. Going in 5 days a week. Dealing with all the outside the home horrors these past 2 1/2 years…
Well… deal with it! It’s not the end of the world.

PS-I was reading the BBC website and came across this headline--
