      Isn’t it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.

      My employer has stooped so low as to call it “return to work”. Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?

      I’m currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don’t expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.

        In my salary calculations, office days will attract an added cost and is part of the negotiation. MDA , with its multiple sites and janky schedule, for instance, was a 100k job with 300k of attracted bullshit.

        We didn’t come to an agreement.

      This guy seems to have no clue that introverts and neurodivergents are way more sensitive to the hot/cramped/bright/loud environment as the toxicity it is - fun fact: open plan offices are considered sexist - and if he can’t engage his people at their fullest simply by enabling people to self-select work environment, then he needs a little more mentoring.

      But that went out of style 20 years ago with technical writers and putting employee health before workload as required.

      It feels like a phrase from a cult trying to convince ex members to return to the fold.
