„Now that I’m going back to work, it’s like, well, as much as I love my books … I need that money now to go back to spending on gas.“😩
> For example, instead of buying a coffee every morning, getting it just once a week can help divert upwards of $30 into your commuting budget, she said.
These financial planning talking heads always reveal that they’re out of touch with working people in articles like this. No, skipping coffee four days a week will not free up over $30 in my budget because I don’t spend $8 on a coffee ever.
The reality is that most working people will have to lower their quality of life to return to the office, because life is more expensive than it was pre-pandemic and most wages have not risen enough to offset this. We don’t need more pieces sanewashing this corporate management trend as something we just need to adapt to.
I have worked from home maybe 20 times in five years, and I think RTO is bullshit.
Nearly the only complaint from the individual to the heads of government has been the affordability crisis.
Talk again has arrived of an 11 or 12 figure HSR between Toronto and QC QC.
FFS, the solution is to stop moving an increasing share of 41 million people into four or five cities in the country. The solution is to disperse people away from congestion to places that are affordable but are connected at the speed of light for pennies on the infrastructure and cost-of-living dollar.
Let’s try not to all fail together.
Work for a private company. They asked us to come back 3 half days a week (pretty reasonable actually). My problem is that I’ll get to the office, not talk to anyone there and get on a call with someone who isn’t there. Not to mention my desk is 1/3 of the office I have at home.
The time I spend driving to work I could be spending working instead.
Yea lifestyle change like maybe moving closer to work and your office downtown!
Like it or not theres a benefit of the office. How easy it is to just ask your coworker something instantly instead of a 20 minute slack convo
Full RTO is definitely a pay cut. Add to it the imminent increase to our benefit premium, because they do increase ecery year, before accounting for inflation. Next year, most employees will have less disposable income than they had this year and even worse, than over the past 5 years. Unless paychecks increase by at least 10% for everyone, full RTO is going to be a negative impact on people’s quality of life.
We’re already missing our climate targets. I’m sure that adding tens of thousands of cars back on the road every day is going to help.
I feel the value of RTO has yet to be truly explained. What management gains in supervision they will lose in staff resentment. I really question if productivity will be any better in office. I know myself, on days I have to commute I work fewer hours because I need to take time to commute. At home I’ll often work a 9 1/2hr day, when going into the office it’s strictly 8.
