Why We Should All Return to the Office
I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no 'one size fits all' or silver bullet and boilerplate solutions, leveraged to the hilt really only keep us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, really allow us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators, or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.
再次,花更多的时间在办公室里,你会find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize! We've been remote for so long it's easy to forget the benefits of working in the office.
What's the root cause of the hatred of corporate office spaces? I'll put my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.
I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop soon when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that getting traction on this is achievable.
So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed. We're still championing our core values remotely and well only do it better in person.

WFH should be the norm
You actually want wfh 5 days a week?
I will come in for conferences and client meetings. But I want full WFH
Yes and I'd change jobs to guarantee that.
Yes

354manbetxThe ideal for me would be to go into the office 1-2 times a week, get in around 10am (so I can have breakfast at home) and leave at around 5, just for the change of scenery and chance to meet up with people.
It's perfect situation for me too. You can stay home as you have used, but at the same time you have a reason to leave home
Yeah let's accelerate outsourcing.
大声笑停止在这样的恐惧中生活
This a valid fucking point. Amazing how people don't realize the implications of WFH. Your "fear" is well-founded. There is nothing stopping companies (in and out of finance) from choosing employees from a larger pool of candidates as communication technology gets more advanced. Nobody is irreplaceable.
I'm the guy that said he was from Africa above. This has already begun and I don't think it can go back. Banks are more open to recruiting from and outsourcing to 3rd world countries now.
I swear to God this relates to me. I am african and lived in West Africa and got a job in banking inNYCthis year after doing interviews on zoom. I cant help but imagine how many americans i beat out on due to the fact banks can now recruit online. It literally changed my life but if WFH continues this way, yeah you westerners are fucked. Just wait till the Indians really take advantage of this, for now banks are recruiting out of Africa because we are more docile in the work place and don't want to ever make a fuss.
嗯，您是否没有与其他人或其他任何人获得相同的收入？而且你在说front officeIBDright...? Doesn't really make sense what you've said honestly.
Is this post satirical? You've offered zero imperial evidence as to why we should return to the office. Seriously, its more efficient? ReducingCRE从字面上看，支出将提高盈利能力/效率，自WFH以来的生产率得到了提高。现实是WFH是员工的振作（减少通勤时间，更舒适的布料等），如果财务恢复完全返回办公室，他们将看到更多提供更多灵活性的技术和其他行业的人才。
我明白了，人们讨厌改变，这是为什么我父亲没有iPhone的原因，而我的MD宁愿使用他妈的传真机，然后学习如何打字。但是您可以选择收养或死亡爷爷。
Are you autistic? This is satire.
He got me, I ate the onion. So maybe I am
杜德（Dude）他在我们身边
I almost rage punched my monitor reading your second paragraph. It's all colloquialisms and buzz words. Funny post though.
我认为许多初级银行家忘记了全面返回办公室（并假设面对面的会议）意味着工作量更少。目前，由于变焦，MD可以承担的音高和授权没有物理限制。面对面的会议将限制MD可以承担多少授权。
不同意。当您在办公室里，鉴于所有这些，本质上不能只看电视或在一天中间烹饪东西。也许我们比您的银行拥有更好的WLB，但老实说，在家中工作量增加，而不是亲自工作
Good discussion in this thread.
如果我能找到一种赌注的方法，我会，因为我认为这将要发生：
once you've had a bite of that sweet WFH apple there is no going back! There将要成为巨大的反弹效应。
exactly this. cat's out of the bag.
This is a very good analysis. Once you get a taste of something nice and convenient it becomes your new baseline level of comfort after some time (which it has been).
Brilliant stuff.
I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young, they bring you up to do like your daddy done
I've been going back into the office since early May and am so glad I'm not fully remote. Lack of social interaction sucks and it's so much harder to collaborate and you miss out on a lot of the general pulse of things. Just lose out on so much comradery and honestly the ability to learn and absorb information is hampered significantly IMO.
That said, my firm has a very flexible hybrid model. Some weeks I won't go in at all, some weeks it's 1 day only, but I generally shoot for 3. Hands down the hybrid model is what I'd prefer as long as it's not a strictly mandated you have to come in these days of the week or a minimum # of days.
Unless there are some major meetings, basically boils down to if I feel like going in, I go in. If I have too many early morning meetings or have plans where it's beneficial for me to stay home, or am too jammed up on workstreams, I stay home. Yes, commuting is a pain in the ass sometimes but I structure that as personal downtime or catch up on slacks / emails / newsletters.
意识到这是对民意,but you'd actually have to pay memoreif 100% remote was mandatory.
I'd assume getting to work for you is relatively easy - which somehow no one ever seems to factor into these "do we WFH debates". How would you feel if you were in my position? Just accepted a job with a flexible hybrid model, but would require 3 hours of commuting a day. No solid public transportation either, so that leaves a lot of unproductive time stuck in the car...
Kind of - 40-45 minutes each way which isn't the worst, but definitely isn't great either? Totally agree that 3 hours total per day driving would be too much.

还设有混合设置，但这是由于成为管理团队的一员，并需要在某些日子上任职的人进行货运/与其他主要部门进行货物/沟通，这些部门需要亲自联系/会议等。我们的办公室员工的生产力要高得多。我承认我在家中是一个懒惰的人，并且是管理层的一部分 - 我没有受到微观管理。我们的主要公司办公室（我曾经在哪里工作）一次租用工作空间数小时，但很少有远程员工使用它。
I don't think there's that many ppl that are mandatory wfh now right? I feel like the debate is more between how many days in person should be mandatory if any and whether it should be all in person or some sort of hybrid rather than full wfh,
Is there going to be a mass exodus when everyone gets called back to the office? Will firms go hybrid against their Will to keep talent?
Yes, there will be pressure on the banks to cave to a freely WFH
chill boomer
Jamie is that you?
B+ for effort so I'm not going to MS you but, like, cmon. This meme format was already tiresome like five years ago, and it's borderline cringe today.
I just want to be as happy as these cringey fucks to be back in the office:https://vm.tiktok.com/zm8xcru2j/
It's weird, the surveys, and all the evidence, shows workers prefer WFH, and yet, companies are sending people back in.
This is pretty good. I don't think anyone has ever hit on more jargon at once.
The perfect deal would be mandatory one WFH a week, with a traditional expectation for the other 4 of you coming into the office, and an understanding that more WFH days are acceptable on an approval basis for each specific extra day.
有一天的灵活性给您这一关键，在星期一待在家里，或者待在家里让承包商进入，将Johnboy带到医生办公室或其他任何事情。
At the same time, keeps you professional and ambitious.
Thoughts?
Uh, no. Wtf is this. Just make it simple and let people choose or simplify it all go all WFH. "Professional and ambitious" ? I'll tell you what makes me ambitious. The ability to take a fucking shit in the comfort of my own bathroom during the day how about that?
No

哇。这是一流的写作课。只是哇。完美。每块公司都非常完美地利用。好人。
There's literally 0 tangible reasons the OP cites about making a return to the office, good job sounding like a strategic teaser to a baseless value proposition.
一定要同意通过混合模型在身体周围的友善和士气效率的某些要素，但是更好的“粒度”肯定并不是每周5天在办公室任职的副产品。
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but one of the best (or funniest perhaps) comment I've seen somewhere to date was:
"If you work in thefront office, you should be in the office."
oP lets run this up the flag pole and see how many people salute.
2/3 days in office should be mandated; WFH for the rest. hybrid > full time office > full time WFH imo
Work should be full time in the office. The "data" that supports the work from home is more productive was time biased from a 3ish months after work from home started when people were still waking up at their normal time and having nothing better to do working during the period where they would normally be traveling to work. Well it only took about 3 to 4 months for workers to wise up and realize they don't need to do that.
You're a loser
Good one Fonzie.
