We're all looking forward to going back to the office! The boost morale in collaboration is incalculable. Now, when you first enter the front door, there's gonna be a bats nest in the upper right hand corner of the room. Leave them alone! If left undisturbed, they should be nesting during working hours and pose no threat. Now let's discuss the recent electrocutions ....

Actually, there are (or were) bats living in the fake ceiling...

It's the storage room for a heap of sterile gear used in tattoos and body piercing and all the equipment to sterilise clamps and grips. This was fine for some reason.

Same. I want to know more about wtf went down in there over the past ten years. Also it'll probably be cathartic for you to share, or something.

I suppose I should mention that none of the utility bills or invoices had been paid so we had to use the neighbors wifi to finish off last orders. I'd really rather not elaborate on what exactly the charges involved beyond them being money related.

Since COVID my company has given everyone the option to work remotely. 70% of employees now do so. We have several buildings on our main campus that are very sparsely populated, so they are doing a "consolidation" to create "neighborhoods" to ostensibly encourage collaboration. Anyway, when I got the move spreadsheet it had me moving from a cubicle in the other building to an adjacent cubicle. I asked what was up and they just said "Oh your permanent workspace won't be ready so we're moving you to a temporary workstation first." When I say the cubicles are adjacent, it's as in, the dividers touch each other. It's so dumb. Then they put my new name placard on the first cubicle, and they spelled my first name wrong, but I'm used to that. Oh, and there are still like 20 vacant offices on the floor we're moving into and only three of us still work in cubicles. They are reserved for hoteling for when remote workers come in once or twice a year. Plus, they forgot to pay me for a bunch of extra hours I worked in October. I could go on about the move. I received the notice about a week in advance and every day they changed the move date to be a day sooner, and then on Monday when I was supposed to be packed by 5:00PM they showed up first thing in the morning and started moving furniture out of my cubicle in the middle of a meeting and started tearing down all the empty ones that surround me. I hate working from home, though. It drove me crazy being home all the time, so I put up with this.

I'm definitely in the minority with that. They actually asked everyone who has an office who doesn't show up regularly to pack up and WFH and that wiped out a bunch of offices, but 2/3 of the people in my division didn't move out and still only come in a couple of times a month. There are days in the middle of the week when there's only maybe five people on the whole floor.

McGavin posted:Love to sit in traffic for hours each week. It really helps me relax. Hate the commute, but can't focus at all when working from home and maybe get a third as much done as when in the office, and don't especially want to get fired. So I'm in a few days a week at least, which helps to keep up. I don't like being in the office at all, but if I actually need to get work done it's a hell of a lot better than some lovely improvised setup in the little spare space in my apartment. Not all of us are making bank with big houses and extra, separated spaces in them. I can empathize with not liking wfh.

In grad school I spent almost all my time in the bedroom when I was at home because that's where my computer desk is. Way too much time in the bedroom. I do have a spare room, but I turned it into a weight room and there's not really enough room for a desk. When I worked from home I compromised and bought a folding table from Staples and worked in my living room, but that was crowded and tacky. It's mostly just a personal preference of wanting to get out of the house and separate work from home. It is a little silly to complain about moving to and from cubicles when I could just work from home. I actually wonder if my company doesn't give a poo poo at this point and would just prefer to pull the trigger and sell the buildings or something. Depending on what you do you do have to show up, I guess. We do a lot of different types of research and some people have an actual science lab, and then for our survey research we have an actual fulfillment and data capture center, so you have to do that onsite. That used to be in an offsite building that was a lease, but they are moving that onsite as well. Still mostly a ghost town, though, so I can't really say I'm doing it to socialize.

Do what I did, and move into one of the offices, play dumb, and just see how long it takes for someone to notice or care. Hint: they won't. I was 2 ranks lower than anyone else with an office, and I had that office for 7 years until I retired.

A couple of the firewall guys squatted in offices on an empty floor for a couple of years until Space Planning noticed. They still have offices, just elsewhere on the floor now.

I spend an hour and half in traffic every day to drive to the office and... work with my team members who are in completely different offices in completely different time zones. I'm in Teams meetings all day. It's like working from home at work. spookykid posted:Do what I did, and move into one of the offices, play dumb, and just see how long it takes for someone to notice or care. Hint: they won't.

It worked.

We have to do two days a month in the office which is whatever, but we’ve found that network connectivity in the office for our particular system is loving dogshit and it takes forever to do a bunch of poo poo we can do from home over the VPN in less than a quarter of the time. My boss and his boss are hopefully going to tell management to go gently caress themselves over it, because it basically just means 2 days a month per team member where absolutely nothing of value can be done while we sit twiddling our thumbs in the office.

I was at an all remote company. Went to a conference (on the vendor side) a few weeks ago and getting to bitch about leadership with 8 coworkers live in a hotel bar was so gooooood. Especially since I got laid off 3 days later.
