Everyone know work from home is a big joke... The reason is simple and obvious... Most human beings lack enough self discipline to accomplish goals... Everyone believes they are the exception to the rule, but this is purely dilusional.

@qh+1welgO2C: I don’t think anything I answer will get through. People such as yourself have a bias against WFH. My question to you is, why do you care if I or anyone else is WFH?
My work only requires the use of a laptop and an internet connection. My peers are scattered throughout the world. If I’m incredibly effective in my job, what benefit or value is there in me doing that from an office location? If I wasn’t doing my job, people would know and I wouldn’t be able to hide it. My own personal work ethic would not allow me to take advantage of the situation and the stress of trying to hide not doing anything would be worse than from the honest work I do.
I really don’t know why anyone cares where I do my work from. I’ve tried headphones, I’ve tried making do not disturb signs. Ultimately I enjoy working in my own space next to a window and my own personal bathroom much more than a shared space with noisy people and disgusting bathrooms

@pz+1welgO2C: what do you actually do in your job so you can always wfh? You never used a headphone in office to cancel the noise?

Always wondered why some people are so against rto. What are the excuses, office noises, moved to different state?

lol, speak for yourself buddy. Many of us are quite happy working from home. And WFH is one of the few reasons employees are staying with Intel

Everyone talking negatively about WFH and spreading lies about what it’s actually like needs to shut up. I WFH and have gotten my best promotions and raises since doing so. I could not concentrate in the office because there’s too many things going on. Having a quiet space to get my work done has been key to my success. I’m extremely good at what I do and find that I have very few peers who can keep up in a conversation. When I was in the office my productivity su-ked because in between trying to focus on my work I’d get interrupted 12 times a day by people stopping at my desk to talk to me. Just because you’re not able to be successful from home doesn’t mean that everyone is.

RTO Now, RTO Forever

Work is the interaction of people so WFH is not really work, and is degrading most companies who have persisted with this horrible experiment, not to mention the careers of those who are never seen or heard from by their managers.

Y'all need to get a sense of humor. This is a job, not life or death.

Yes, I work at Intel and have been elsewhere before. Have been impacted by layoffs/reorgs and survived them all and actually came out of them stronger.

Hey @1yrr that’s not funny. There is actually a big problem with that. That they keep very quiet but you will see it with people mysteriously reorgin and just outright disappearing. It’s rampant

WFH is good in theory.
In practice, bad actors abuse the system and WFH leads to worse outcomes vs. in-office.

As with many things in life. A few bad apples can spoil a good thing.

People must love return to office because they love:

  1. being kicked out of conference rooms
  2. Chairs that don't lock and fall backwards
  3. Loud conversations all the time
  4. Commute or traffic
  5. Toilets that flush randomly ejecting you from the seat so you have to place a sheet of toilet paper over the sensor to stop it from flushing
  6. 1-ply sand paper toilet paper
  7. Having to chase down people in the building for help
  8. Standing in line in front of cubicles to get help.
  9. Forced to print 11X17 sheets of paper
  10. Computers chained to the desk
  11. Too much sugar in all the food destroying you liver
  12. Horrible office setup not like home
  13. Forced to laugh at your manager's jokes even though they aren't funny.
  14. People barging in your cube demanding extra work even though your overloaded
  15. Everybody on the same floor getting sick at the same time

DEI mindset to coddle and not upset the workforce through RTO mandate. The patient is sick on so many levels

Not from fab

BUT YES, AT MINIMUM 45 hours per week in the office - WORKING not at home taking naps, watching tv, doing chores, playing with your dachshund, taking business school courses. Working for the companies that pays your piece of sh-t a-s for a change

7-5? 45 hour weeks?
Oh, wait - you must be fab/factory working 9 out of 12 hours.

@pfj, guarantee you work 1-2 hours a day at most, hence the reason why you don't feel the need to be in office.

The extensive WFH culture at Intel is a reason why we are where we are. For instance, TD engineers don't even know where their own tools in the fab are. New hires during WFH might be some of the most poorly trained engineers in the sector and we rely on them to "bring us back" from the grave. Will never happen without a full onsite / work-from-office presence.

As an Intel manager I only work 1-hour a day, why should I come into the office just for that?

The only thing more inevitable than Pat returning is Work From Office.

Don't change the subject of this forum. The big news is Pat's return after he kicks out the board and they get sued by all the investors.

Uhhh, no.
Just because your life su-ks so bad you need to be in the office to escape it, doesn't mean the rest of us are in the same position.
