As #COVID spikes again - in 2 weeks cases are up 29% in US, incl. 56% in #Georgia, 38% in #Wyoming; while deaths are up 33% in the US, 55% in #NewYork, 65% in #Michigan - it surely looks bleak for #ReturnToOffice mandates, no?

Something I never see in #rto discussions is the value that *bosses* get from #wfh.

Like today. The non-critical systems are down due to a power outage. In the old days, that's a day off. Now it's a wfh day.

Or this weekend. I was bored and checked my work email via phone. Saw a question the ops people had and answered it.

If wfh doesn't count as real work in the boss's mind, then I don't need that phone and snow days go back to being holidays.

What head set do you recommend for wfh? I’d like it to have a decent mic as I talk a lot for my work.

Return to Office, circa 1925.

Harold Ross launched The New Yorker in 1925, and during its early days funds were tight. Dorothy Parker was one of his early writers, and no fan of the financial squeeze.
Ross demanded to know why she had not come into the office as expected one day.
Dorothy’s reply to Harold: “Someone was using the pencil.”

Construction materials are here. So the house renovation is really happening. Kinda dreading this because it's going to be messy and chaotic for months. I need to adjust my routine and hope I can still be productive amidst all this.

But I'm also excited because when this is all over, I'll have a new room. Can we just skip to the good part? 😂

Speaking of which, how impossible do we think it is to find a 100% remote job? Say someone with experience in software engineering, and specialized in Agile and hybrid project management (aka scrum master, product owner, project manager, etc).

When you stop to think about it, #technology is amazing. Just had a stand-up where one member of the team was on a train.

The worst part of #wfh is nobody can stop me from eating the whole loaf

The best part of #wfh is that nobody can stop me from making zucchini bread while I think about code problems

Corporations: #WFH bad

Reality:

There’s an invisible but powerful force in our lives. It is our habits. The pandemic reordered the routines that guide us and introduced #WFH. Now that they’re accustomed to this new style of work, many employees resist changing back. So what can change a habit? Another powerful force, incentives. So, how about free #transit passes, paid by employers eager to see their workers back in the office? https://www.governing.com/transportation/philadelphia-gives-free-transit-passes-to-all-city-workers

haha... you'd think that after all these years of #WFH you'd get used to being in a #meeting with a #headset.

Not me. A fly just landed on my head and I just wiped my hand through my hair to move it on and knocked the headset right onto the floor. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh, I'm on cam too 😳

It's my first time working from a co-working space today, like a proper digital nomad 🏝 I wouldn't mind doing this more often :) #remote #remotework #wfh #spain

@thebeavertonbot “In Ontario the Ford government has already come out in favour of converting unused office space into housing, but is requiring that the office buildings be transported to the Greenbelt first.”

It's an #UnpopularOpinion, I guess, but I miss open floorplan offices and I despise #WFH.

Going into work every day used to be a party. The energy was up. Laughter echoed over the bullpen. There was camaraderie and companionship. There was coffee and beer.

I don't understand; you want to be alone? You want to sit mutely in front of a glowing rectangle? You don't like to laugh? You don't like to turn around at an overheard comment and quip a retort?

You don't want this?

The thing about this working from home debate that I don't like is that it is being top down implemented.

Different people have different work-life needs & patterns.

#flexibility is key. Success measured by #outputs.
