Do Employees Want a Return to the Office? || IBT UK Investigates

[@menow7903]

I went into my office in central London recently. The journey was horrific. I couldn't believe that we actually used to do this to ourselves all the time.

[@bojack3827]

Hybrid all the way. No way would I want to be 100% remote (too lonely) or 100% office (too much dead commuting time + getting ill on packed trains)

[@BrownDaddy007]

Trains are good for giving your immune system a regular workout. Constant mingling is a biological imperative.

Hybrid is here to stay. I would never apply nor accept a full WFO role. The cost & travel is a no no especially if you work in London but live outside the city.

[@disnasandamalie4452]

No I don’t want😂

The PJ wearing WFH brigade often leave the house and sit in their local cafe , use the WIFi and heating , and take their own snacks. They generously buy an americano and drink it over the whole morning.

If you want to climb the ladder then you should go into the office, if you are happy to work from home and shy your responsability's then don't be surprised if you are not considered for future positions.

[@eveb.6568]

BS. Nothing to do with productivity/efficiency.

[@jacksoncrate]

i would fire anyone who will not work full time in my office

[@Harry2]

you are a bad person

[@bojack3827]

You clearly don't have the brightest and best workforce then and a low value EVP in your business as the best candidates don't want to be in the office 5 days a week (I work in recruitment)

[@Daniel-nb3kk]

What a shame! I am sure your organization is a fantastic place to work at... 😢

[@Chipchap-xu6pk]

And you will make do with second-rate employees as a result. Those of us who can be more selective with our employers will be giving you a wide berth.

22 year olds cannot learn by working from home

[@DaNuker]

have fun wasting 100hours of a year and 1000s of $ on travel each year!

[@Jackuy4576a]

..The same 22 year olds that just achieved their degrees through a pandemic of online learning?

[@patrickdoyle9304]

@@Jackuy4576a yes. Those 22 year olds

[@BrownDaddy007]

I'd say, they should set mewling aside long enough to achieve the grammar expected of a 22-year-old graduate.
