People Are Sharing The Real Reasons Companies Are Forcing You Back Into The Office (20 Tweets)

Work from home has been a hot-button-issue over the last few years. People with small spaces and noisy kids, understandably, aren’t giant fans, but a lot of people really are: no commute means more time with your loved ones and why would we ever go back to hard pants? And ladies: bras? No THANKS.

So why are so many people, including the president of the United States, pushing a return to the workplace? Let’s take a look at the real reasons.

1. I have chronic migraines and Y E S to this

2. Gas prices

3. Completely true

4. Just let us work here! at home!

5. And the gas prices…

6. Just go in yourselves!

7. So many reasons

8. This is such a great idea

9. Go remote.

10. What about housing?

11. It’s me, Bill

As employers start to call people back into the office, I’m just gonna show up to places I don’t work like, ‘it’s me, Bill. Been a rough few years.’

12. Huge leap forward

Remote work is the greatest progress in the worker movement since the 8 hour work day

Whoever is against it must be destroyed

14. Same work

Getting up at the ass crack of dawn, bathing, getting dressed, making breakfast, fighting morning traffic to go the office to do the same work you could have done at home

15. Seems pretty simple, right?

I just feel like folks who wanna work in the office should and the folks who like being remote should be able to.

16. They lied

Job was described as work from home regularly but must be able to come in-person as needed. After learning on Day #1 that "as needed" meant M-F 9-5, had to pull teeth to WFH T/Th. Expressed my concerns a couple of times to no avail before putting my foot down. Felt good.

17. “Culture”

18. It’s really not lazy

calling people lazy for not wanting to go back into office is ironically such a lazy observation of the situation. staying home saves so much money, time and effort. what are the pros of an office space really. say socialization so I can block you

19. Completely accurate

Yeah, let's go back to spending hours per week sitting in traffic spewing CO2. I thought we were trying reduce emissions, which has been a great side benefit of remote work. Silly me.
