Took a job recently after being unemployed for a while. Three days in the office, but only 15 minute commute. Nobody from my team in the city, and nobody I will ever need to work with works in this office. I have almost nothing to do so I’ve been filling my days doing training on our products. My floor has probably 100 or so cubes with about 20-25 people on on any given day on the whole floor. I sit in a wing of a building with 4 cubes and mine’s the only one in use. I go pretty much the whole day without seeing or speaking to another individual.
At least when I worked from home I had my dogs to keep me company. Now i just get in, counting the minutes until I hit 8 hours and leave asap. I’m seriously considering resigning because I’m going nuts.
Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I’m going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn’t working and offer to go remote or leave.
No, not dell. Always a bummer to learn other places doing this too though. Every time I see a company is pushing hard on the RTO stuff they just get crossed of my job search list.

RTO sucks.
take your shoes off and put on some tunes
Serious. Live it up.
It sounds like your company is really shitty with RTO.
Would anyone notice if you started working from home?
Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I’m going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn’t working and offer to go remote or leave.
Dell by chance? My cousin has been raving about their ridiculous RTO and his story is almost the same as yours (1+ hour commute).
