I can't get over how much I don't actually like going into the office. The things that I like doing before was hanging out, going for coffee, eating lunch together, etc. All the things that I don't feel comfortable with doing. And when I go, there is very few people there that are supposed to be because everyone is sick all the time.
Did I mention how much nicer I like working from home? How much more work I get done?
Can you imagine going to your employer and telling them that you're going to be working in the local coffee shop. You're not really going to see anyone you work with probably. Maybe someone that you worked not closely with before. You demand that your employer pay for your time at the coffee shop because the wifi isn't free. Of course you'll have to call into meetings since not everyone is going to be at your coffee shop with you. Oh, it'll also be terrible for productivity since it's loud, very little privacy, and you're probably going to get sick because of the unmasked people about. I don't think that your employer would think this is a good idea. But this is what I see the office as.
Would it be better if everyone was in the office full time? Not really since I work with people in various different places and departments.
I'm not happy about the whole thing. It depresses me the day before I go in. It depresses me the whole time I'm there.
I've been going back 2 days a week, health permitting since September I think. I can count two different conversations I've had with people about actual work. And those could just as easily have been done virtually.
I hate it and there is no logical argument that I can make that will change it since the decision is political and along the lines of Because I Said So.
