So, lost my position October 2024. Su-ks, but adapted. New banks wants you in office 5x/week. Trying to be diplomatic, but COVID is done. For those of you who concerned about returning to office, you can whine, but most are doing it (https://www.startribune.com/target-downtown-minneapolis-office/601470398). If you don’t like it, leave, but you are gripping on the inevitable. Your return to office, while you are being paid full time, is inevitable

@b1 I've got an oyster for you.
@OP BS that you lost your position. You're either a member of the C-suite club slumming it after a few glasses of scotch or a boot lick who just wants to point out how they are cheerleading RTO in the most effective way possible (in your mind). Go su-k a back of covid.
Oh, they'll continue to whine...but that's about all they'll do.
so it's either "COVID is done" or it's "COVID will always be lurking". Can't be both.
Maybe once you make up your mind and present a coherent message, your words will carry some weight.
Not much, mind you, but a little.
If you want to know what the bank’s approach to RTO will be, just look at what Wells Fargo is doing. We’ve always worshipped WF and will continue to follow their lead on everything. Maybe they can just acquire us.
@a8 It's really about the value of the real estate. Worth much much more, and greater tax/depreciation write off if occupied. Follow the money.
For those that have been out of work for months due to a layoff are more than will to go into the office 5 days a week just to pay the bills and feed their family. So, power thru it until you find the position you want. It sux out here in unemployment land. Power on!
@b1 You sound truly bitter about life. Stay in your lane and stop concerning yourself with how others feel about RTO. And be aware that when you lick the sh-t off of corporate America's boots, you may end up with a parasite. Maybe you already have worms in your brain. That would explain some things. Try to feel better soon.
@af COVID will always be lurking. As much as I prefer to work from home, those days are in the rear view mirror. Suffer the consequences, or find a new job. The world is your oyster
being a bootlicker is personal choice but don't be a liar

even a limited intellect as yourself can see that covid is far from "done"
If the bank really wanted to save money on expenses, I wonder how many people they would get to sign back up for remote work at a pay cut. Of course there would need to be something in writing saying they could not pull you back in.
Yes there are more positions hybrid/in person now. But doesn’t mean there are no remote positions out there. I would say less but it’s not completely gone.
