White-collar workers temporarily enjoyed unprecedented power during the pandemic to decide where and how they worked.

    WFH crowd isn’t trying to make you WFH

    Work from office people are trying to force WFH people in

    You’re welcome to your opinion and no one is hating you for it, just leave us introverts alone

      I’m an introvert too. Takes energy to socialize and I recharge sitting on my ass reading. Working on technical shit is easier when I can walk over to someone’s desk and say “what is this, what happened here, did you consider such and such” etc. Trying to do that when everyone is remote is…suboptimal…

          …that’s what this thread is about and look at the response. Bunch of cave trolls here who are terrified of phone calls let alone going outside in public in the daytime and actually interacting with colleagues.

            Have you considered that maybe there’s a reason your coworkers don’t want to talk to you?

              It’s a generational thing. My colleagues in other firms say the same thing. I like gen Z overall but my god they suck at communicating. Not surprising for a generation raised on texting and TikTok etc. They’re educated and capable but that’s not worth much if you can’t successfully share and explain your work.

              Turns out communication is actually really important. I bet if Leibniz were around today he’d be in this thread telling me to go fuck myself too though.
