Don’t work! Chat with all of your colleagues. Enjoy your socialization time! Tell them how glad you are to see them. Ask about their ex-wife and their daughter’s dance recital. Let Dell enjoy your “enhanced productivity”.

Don't worry, you have your evenings to get your job done after giving them their stupid swipes.
I will be spending the majority of my time having 30 second conversations with my peers. This may distract them and most definately will annoy them as they will not be anyone that i would usually engage with since i have no members of my team in the same city. I will work my way around from desk to desk giving advice on products that I dont have any knowledge on and thanking them for the productive fast paced chat.
When i am at my desk I till type extra loud to give the impression that I am giving 110% effort to my work even though I am just taking out my anger on having to commute for 1hr in awful traffic and then have to spend 20 minutes searching for a desk to sit at. I'll show that keyboard who is boss! I'll flip through my notepad like a maniac and sigh loudly in frustration. None of this will achieve any measurable output in my work but that doesnt matter as productivity is now a place and not an outcome.
I will spend extra time in the canteen having energetic and passionate conversations. I'll then spend extra time on the toilet as the food in the canteen doesnt react well with my bowels. Maybe i could join a confrence call at the same time, remotely from my desk because we dont actually have face to face meetings and never have.
I'll be sure to take some time to get fresh air. Normally I'd just open the window in my home office and continue working but now i will head off for a walk aruond the building for 15 mins or so. Perhaps I'll have a few more fast paced conversations with people i meet on my walk.
When I get ill from the mix of people coughing their guts up, not washing their hands in the toilet and touching the door handles, i'll be sure to take time off work rather then working remotely as i would have done.
Look forward to the Excitement and Buzz of being at Ground Zero of where it's all.... Hahahaha sorry I just can't write this B.S.!
My manager has a drinking problem. Can’t wait to be back in the office with that drama.
Im gonna be too busy taking teams calls in the bathroom with all my teammembers that are in other states and IST time zone.
Did you mean to tell you? Learn how to type troll.
You all just got to get past this RTO stuff. Is what it is. Not sure what else to you.
I’ll chat with my colleagues like I normally do, over teams. They all live in Brazil or are remote across the globe.
