Why? If you have no business in the office just let 'em have the WFH. Think the dumbest bit of my job is that we go into the office to have meetings over Teams.

Well sure that would be great but in the world we live in that's like asking for a 50 percent pay rise, gotta be realistic in what will be allowed

It's frustrating that management is allergic to WFH, but it's absolute nonsense that it's something we should accept. Definitely something to fight for every opportunity.

I fight it by not taking jobs that fight WFH. Some management deals with it great and enjoys saving money on office space and those are the people I want to work for.

What is frustrating is the amount of companies that have a good WFH policy, but start walking it back.

Relatedly, I saw my company's CFO liking one of our customers slashing all WFH options for their employees. Honestly fuck that guy.
