Let’s work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn’t even a US company it seems.
Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!
I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.
Also, productivity is exactly what companies now state as the reason for pushing everyone back to the office
Yep, which is complete bullshit and I think most people now see that it’s bullshit. It seems to be just the old guard trying to keep their grip on power.
Yup, which is why I’m glad my boss stuck with his agreement when I was hired during COVID: at least 3 days WFH per week, other than exceptions. I only work in office more than 3x/week if someone is visiting from out of town (some C-suite exec, full remote team members, etc).
Our company tried to force us to work 3x/week in the office, so we tried it, our productivity went down, so we went back to 2x/week in office.
We did full remote for 2-ish years during COVID, and I think I honestly prefer coming in 2x/week. Yeah, commuting is a waste of time, but I think our meetings are more productive (and shorter) in person, so it’s a more pleasant work experience.
