BTO vs BTO

I think the disconnect between BTO lovers and WFH lovers is that we’re not talking about the same thing with BTO.

I can imagine a BTO where after a short restful commute I go to my spacious cubicle and meet with my coworkers and customers face to face over a whiteboard. Meetings are in meeting rooms so the cube farm is peaceful. Lunch is one of several affordable nutritious options in the cafe with my work friends

I don’t drink coffee so free coffee is moot but you may enjoy it.

I would love such a BTO. No mandate required.

However setting up a new hotel desk ergonomically every visit to teams out to people who aren’t on my site anyway while everyone else in the loud crowded open floor space is doing the same is actually a productivity ki-ler. PLEASE NO.

I don’t think the Intel of 2025 can take BTO from the latter to the former

those who love RTO/BTO, by all means go back. no mandate needed. don't be a control freak and don't look like needy ppl

Sure thing. I’ll return to office, I’ll be there Monday through Friday, 8-5, and at 5pm, I’m out, no more meetings calls or emails until 8am the next morning.

Deal? I can start immediately.

I look better in person, smell nice, and prefer RTO/BTO for obvious reasons

@OP's "productivity" - he logged into Teams for a total of hour before lunch today for a Teams meeting

I think you captured this nicely. And agreed.

You don't need Intel. Everyone gets all kinds of work from home job opportunities.

So quit

I hate to break it to you but: A short restful commute is a fairytale. A spacious cubicle is a pipedream and coworkers often su-k. Meetings in meeting rooms bring out the narcissist in everyone and there's no such thing as a peaceful cube farm. Cafeteria lunch su-ks, costs too much and is never nutritious. RTO is a waist of time and people would rather quit than run in that that hamster wheel. Were not coming back to the office and were not buying anymore corporate indoctrination.

Personally, I’d still rather work from home, but your suggestions would make it less painful to RTO.
