A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

People like it because in the office you can play politics, suck up to the manager and generelly become liked on other attributes than work performed.

Works really well if you are a good looking female too.

In general, people who enjoy meetings also like the office a lot.

I hate office politics, am not female, and detest unnecessary meetings, so I guess that's why I have no interest in returning to office.

But for the people who do, I'd love to know if they did the math and think that losing 44 hours of free time a month plus a $176 deduction from their net monthly pay makes it worth it for whatever they think they are getting out of it by commuting into the office.
