Wi-Fi Keeps Going Down': Donald Trump's Return-to-Office Mandate Is Going Terribly
Dozens of federal employees tell WIRED the return-to-office order has resulted in widespread chaos, plummeting productivity, and significantly reduced services to the public.
Politics aside, new research shows there are good financial reasons to back working from home

Fuck Tim Walz.
Hes a Collaborator too far as im concerned.
"Democratic Governor Tim Walz does Trumpian Return To Office.
We all know that RTO is fossil fueled and caters to commercial real estate to get butts in seats downtown for The Economy. This is NOT a progressive move and Walz should be shamed harshly by Democrat voters in Minnesota for acting like a right-winger on telework.
'Gov. Walz announce change to state telework policy By WDIO Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced an update to the state’s telework policy for state workers. The change would require most state agency employees to work in-person for at least 50% of their scheduled work days. This would go in effect on June 1, 2025. “This approach balances the flexibility of telework with the workplace advantages of being in office,” said Gov. Walz. “Having more state employees in the office means that collaboration can happen more quickly and state agencies can build strong organizational cultures more easily.” '
That collaboration nonsense is all bullshit and we all know it by now. Anti-telework is just collaborating with right-wing business interests."

Hey, look at Dropbox being sensible about working remotely, and even looking at data: https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/beyond-the-officeversusremote-debate-why-we-lack-focus-at-work-and-what-to-do-about-it
Actual data instead of vibes-based decrees from the C-suite, amazing!
"One FDA employee’s assigned work station turned out to be a storage closet in a district courthouse. They were told last week not to mind the noise upstairs. It was just the U.S. Marshals Service checking in on people in jail cells."

Das sollte damit nix zu tun haben. Ich kenne eine Menge Leute unabhängig von AGG-Merkmalen. Auch der Freelancermarkt ist eingebrochen.
1. Remote gibts kaum noch #RTO, Umzug, Pendeln
2. Wirtschaftsabschwung, Cloud und AI, den Unternehmen fehlt oft das Geld für Wachstum
3. Geiz, die Arbeitgeber wollen sehr oft die Marktwerte nicht zahlen, manchmal aus 2.
4. Unternehmensauslagerung von Produktion, zu der Entwicklung auch zählt, in günstigere Länder, Osteuropa (600€/Monat für IT Vollzeit in Bosnien!, Österreich ca. 80% eines deutschen Gehaltes), Indien, Südamerika
5. Gaaaanz expliziter Techstack und Tools. Um- und Anlernen macht niemand mehr. Durch Personalmangel fehlen Leute und Knowhow zum Einarbeiten.
6. Wenn das alles nicht ist, dann kommt vielleicht Frau, Schwangerschaftsproblem, Bangladesh. In den meisten Fällen wären das bis auf Schwangerschaft eher Vorteile. Ohne Gewähr der Verallgemeinerung aus meiner Firmen/Kunden/Netzwerkbubble.
Also für mich liegt der Hauptgrund bei 5! Hängt aber stark vom Unternehmen ab, KMU, Konzern, Solopreneur.
Durch das AGG darf man ohne Risiko einer Klage keinen Absagegrund mehr nennen, deshalb ist das grob mit befreundeten Personalern interpoliert. Welcher Punkt es im persönlichen Fall war, erfährt niemand.
@briankrebs Because Mastodon posts tend to be ephemeral and because I no longer trust corporate social media AT ALL for any kind of longer-term curation of politically-sensitive material of cultural importance, I have captured Marisa's video and Bluesky post on Erosblog:
Shove your office mandates, people still prefer working from home, some 46% said that if their current boss no longer allowed them to #workfromhome, they'd be "unlikely to stay in their current #job."
Threat to quit still preferred to #commuting on packed public transport

#RTO #returntooffice #WFH
I think more companies that don't own their buildings have realized they can make way more profit if they aren't lining some landlord's pockets and paying utilities. Those firms are never going back to the office.
@JessTheUnstill you nailed it!
True story: My company's CEO (~80k employees world wide) flew cross country to come to our subdivision (~500 employees) twice in the last 12 months. First he announced that people would need to #RTO 2 days a week and that this will be tracked. Then he and the company's President showed up for a #TownHall announcing that we are back to normal, Covid was over, and we have to #RTO at least 4 days a week. He apparently was told that there would be major push back from the audience telling from his body language. Surprisingly nobody in the audience even responded with a single comment. We simply continued #WFH. After several weeks it was clear that only some managers and those afraid of being fired showed up regularly. Of those many only to grab a coffee and clock in before leaving again to #WFH. The last thing that was announced, even so not officially, was that we'll "stay flexible" as this was our strength 
#TheyCantFireEveryone #StandUnited
Visualization of #rto
I kind of get companies that are 100% in the office with some flexibility for when people need to attend to life stuff. And I think 100% #remote makes a lot sense for most situations.
But #hybrid makes no sense to me at all. Your processes either benefit from being 100% sync or 100% async, but a mix is chaos.
Companies: We value free speech and we want employee engagement.
Employees: Mandatory return to office 5 days a week is bullshit, maybe we should unionize.
Companies: Not like that
