As a fairly new employee who has never known full in the office work, I’m begging the powers to be at Intel to bring us back to the office before many of us newcomers leave.
We are not getting the experiences that we are craving

Bottom Line, how’s WFH working out for Intel?
Even before Covid, low cost geos and global collaboration changed onboarding. Unless you get hired into a group that works together on hardware development in a lab, there is no use for in office... all software work or product management work is done online, with calls. New grads should be familiar with that anyway.
The new team building is meeting people for lunch once every few weeks.
There used to be nothing stopping you going into the office 5 days per week, might help you brown nose a promo
The reintroduction of free coffee is the company’s siren call to “please return to the office”. Not so quick. We need bananas too, collective bargaining in action
Unless you like to be around Hindi gossip and curry smells, I don't get why you would want to RTO
Please tell us what experiences you’ve after. NGL I vastly prefer WFH and I miss the experience of working in a cube, even with a cubemate, where I can shout across the aisle to get collaboration
And mandating BTO right now isn’t bringing that back. As other posters have noted you can go hop a hotel desk right now and listen to other people phone meeting people who are not in the building from hotel desks
New employees get sc--wed by WFH since onboarding is way more difficult.
Junior employees get sc--wed since mentoring is terrible with WFH.
I cant wait for the im leaving the US if president so and so is elected equivalents just quit so the remaining of us can get in the office and work. Plus is no packages to these a-s hats
I WFH and I’m not hiding anything. I’ve received my best promotions and raises WFH. I get more done, I have a better work-life balance, and I’m not wasting my time and resources driving. I’ve been WFH since before COVID and my productivity is much more than when I was in the office because I have a difficult time focusing with a lot of people around talking to each other or on the phone. For me the office su-ked and if Intel were to require me to start going in I would easily find another job probably making more money
Fake posting
Holy cr-p man. Really? Work is not about "experiences"? WTF did you not get out of your career? "Experiences" are everything! You obviously never worked with me. I feel so badly for those who get out of school and start working from their college apartment desk. Ask my boss before I left... I was really concerned about their experience and it was one of my top priorities in every day life... Getting all the recent hires into a culture... Where we're a team and we know each other. Every employee is a person.
learn to read books and papers
you don't need to be sitting on top of someone to do that
if you are lonely get a dog, they are cheaper than a wife
It is meaningless to go in unless all others are there to collaborate with, and to learn from. I dont have home life problem. i was hired out of college and want the experiences. I find it interesting some people are so adamant about not coming back to the office, what are they hiding from?
No one is stopping you from going in and sitting in a cube everyday. Go in and have that experience enough and you will know why Intel folks would rather stay home.
Is there something stopping you from going in?

Hey loser, work is not about your “experiences”.
