Who here would give up their one time “financial success” bonus to WFH full time? 🖐️

No I would not. Have seen it first hand that a few days in the office are needed to make the business run more smoothly.
You’re
Your the kind of person who should get paid to go away.
It's surprisingly hard to hire for empty positions because good candidates now work from home full time and do not need to go into an office to do a job extremely well.
The wfh pilot is badly being dragged out. People should be given a choice, but the in-office choice should not be seen as the option that gets you further advanced in the position when the job doesn't need physical face to face interactions to accomplish it. Less physical face to face immensely aids most tasks to be completed better and faster. We have already been working remotely with people in other cities for decades, many we have never seen in person and never will because it is not needed. We have even worked fully remotely for decades from office to office in the same building AND many times even on the same floor, with others and we never knew in person what they looked like and never will need to either because what was needed was much more quickly accomplished via an electronic mode of communication. Also since Microsoft Teams has arrived its created an even better way to collaborate than in person because it makes it faster and easier to have meetings with one on one or small groups, and it shines with very large meetings. It has greatly improved collaboration versus in person to share ideas, electronic documents, and while training others.
I'm also worried the very top is not being advised properly because of motivation from others who have a whole lot to lose with full-time wfh. Such as several positions in HR and many other positions they know will become obsolete.
I will just stay on the Balanced Work Week. For younger employees and certain disciplines being in the office three days a week is not a bad thing. If you are nearing retirement the WFH with less incentives might work out well to extend careers a little longer. I think it is a fair trade-off for some so they can WFH more than the Balanced Work Week allows. Everyone is different, so it will be a personal choice. Parents may want to b there for their kids as well, and giving up a little for that is not that big a deal for many.
Curious how stating that in office and WFH individuals are different classes of workers with different promotion and pay opportunities squares with DIB.
Tread lightly with the notion that those who choose the WFH option will get less raises and opportunities. There already is a big backlash in the ranks to those statements made in the EQR. It makes sense in some scenarios but there has to be an avenue for those who clearly contribute more whether they WFH or full time in person.
YES!
News reports are saying that recent children’s test scores are lower because of the online work from home during Covid. Has anyone seen data supporting degradation of employee performance from working at home during the pandemic. Perhaps the attitudes about team work and group work in the same physical environment have declined? Maybe training also took a hit?
Nope! I love the schedule as is! What other oil and gas operator has the schedule that we have?
Why don’t you just quit and get a start on that lifestyle change. See how that works for you.
Yes I would and will. Strong contributor. New license on life after Covid. Better relationship with my kids. I am still be a great employee. Actually better.
But perspective has changed and if I was asked to go back to pre-covid working conditions I would resign and make lifestyle changes to accommodate.
Yes, keep the money and give me WFH!
Thats great to spin off profits to employees. How about spinning off some of this financial success money to the non employee shareholders who are waiting for the dividend to increase.
What is a financial success bonus?
I would love to. Living so far away would make it worth the loss in money but mostly the extra time spent commuting and loss of work environment pleasures that will never be available other than at home is what I will gain back. TIme is the most valuable commodity because it can never be replaced.
Are we still bi-----g about not having work from home five days a week?
I figured everyone for whom that was a priority would have already jumped ship to that dream job by now.
Not me. Three days in the office is a breeze and makes live so much better. I understand how those with kids and those that want more work life balance would, but for me with no kids I have enough free time for myself, and I live close by the office I report to. If you would of told me before the pandemic we would be working from home two days a week and in the office three I would of jumped for that opportuinity. As it is I am super grateful to have what we have and still get 9/80's.
