Please bring us back to office 7-5 x 5 days a week please. The employees are craving this to get us back on track

NO
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.
So go into the office. No one is stopping you.
Can’t wait to fight for desk space only to sit in the same teams meetings all day long
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.
I hope this is true as a new employee i feel i am missing out
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
Work From Office

Nope, now we have to overlap India and Malaysia, even China times has to have maximum flexibility
@1dsn
Please tell Dr. J. where the bad manager touched you.
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:
- being kicked out of conference rooms
- Chairs that don't lock and fall backwards
- Loud conversations all the time
- Commute or traffic
- 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
- 1-ply sand paper toilet paper
- Having to chase down people in the building for help
- Standing in line in front of cubicles to get help.
- Forced to print 11X17 sheets of paper
- Computers chained to the desk
- Too much sugar in all the food destroying you liver
- Horrible office setup not like home
- Forced to laugh at your manager's jokes even though they aren't funny.
- People barging in your cube demanding extra work even though your overloaded
- 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
But how will I save on daycare costs?? I spend 90% PF my day watching my kids and the occasional Teams meeting sprinkled in
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.
@1hvg CHURCH
I’m only required to WFH. What’s the best mouse jiggler to buy?
@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.
I would love to come back to office but need others there to colab with. As a software engineer i would appreciate this.
Pat, is it you? Why do you still want to be in office after retired?
Only if Pat will be there
As an Intel manager I only work 1-hour a day, why should I come into the office just for that?
Flashbacks as my brain reads the title as “bring back the coffee”
You are laid off at Intel. Why do you still want to be in the office?
Who is stopping you going ? I go to office every day 8-5 pm
Funny to hear the fake workers sitting in fake meetings worry about actually working from an office. You are known
If we're made to return to office, I can't run my side-hustle very well.
The only thing more inevitable than Pat returning is Work From Office.
RTO Now!
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.
