Whoever said "there is no such thing as too much sushi", clearly never had too much #sushi

@georgetakei What's a smart watch at this point? A micro screen?

@Mabande @mac they need a job where that is the situation. While I would love to have more people in the office. My believe that you should work where you work best, office, WFH, train, beach, park bench, is a lot stronger. Zoom and such tire me out a lot more than in person pairings. But when that isn't possible we'll figure something out and I block my calendar to decompress afterwards. Not that it matters as my current team is NA east coast while I'm in Amsterdam

@walruslifestyle @Mabande @mac Go back and read the rest

@walruslifestyle @Mabande @mac Mandatory WFH fucked me over badly and was literally destroying my life. Trying to make this about anything else then making sure people work where they work best is destructive on the same level and empoyees/employers demanding you are coming to the office/WFH.

There is no "both sides" there is people, and everything trying to make this about "office side vs WFH side" is part problematic at the very least.

@walruslifestyle @Mabande @mac Further more, tons of articles, social media post, etc etc claiming that you work better from home feels very demeaning when WFH fucked up your life for 2 -3 years just because some people work better from home. Great, then work from home. I'm not going to tell you shouldn't, I rather have a coworker that is happy then one that is depressed because they have to come to the office.

@Mabande @walruslifestyle @mac My job is pretty much remote/hydbrid/office pick one and be happy, with loads of people in remote. So in that sense, I'm sad to hear about hybrid less being an option. My main goal with that initial post was to give a different point of view while complementing the core message that enforcing where to work on people is bad. If you think I could have used different wording without making it sound as both siding I would love to know.

@mac Exactly! In the same way that "return to office" isn't just control freak bosses/managers. It's also people "that need it for structure", people "that need people around them", people "that need a clear separation between home and work life".
