During the pandemic when we worked from home that first year management said productivity went up. A great success. Now they want people to come back to the office where productivity was lower. There has been no mention of productivities numbers dropping. The only reason provided was "because".
Yes, that’s why I mentioned that changing trends were never brought up. If reasons were given, backed by data, maybe people would be more receptive to the return to office. Instead it just ends up looking like a power play or real estate justification, which workers don’t care about.
The amount of BS talk and noice at the office is unbearable. Fart sounds. Kitchen sounds. Meetings, phone calls etc.
I always end up sitting with headphones (noice canceling) and some music and try to work.
Thats why i only go once or twice a week.
