You do know some jobs can't be done remote right?
It's possible the two people are the two with jobs that require some potential in person intervention (IT being the main case)
If something physically fails, you can't exactly fix that remotely.
The fact only 2 people remained says to me they prolly had that sort of job, or, some people genuinely prefer working in the office.
Sounds crazy but some people don't have a comfortable set up at home and find it easier to focus in the office. I've had data where construction was right outside my window at home so yeah, I went into work to have some quiet.
Most of the time I prefer WFH, for sure.
But to pretend that literally everyone can always wfh, and always wants to, is silly and you've gone too far off the other end.
And the statement at the top implies the two people chose not to take PTO anyways. Maybe they wanted to save their PTO for christmas/new years.
Stop being so judgy lol
I’ve worked in it for 30+ years and I will assure you, if you want people to come to the office in this day and age, just in case something critical might fall over, you’re doing it wrong.
It’s no longer the age of kernel panics on your sluggish HP D9000 anymore. Although.. where the f did I put the boot tape again now… fml. Effing tapes dammit.
If this is one of those shitty companies that makes people come into the office I could see IT guys wanting to do some maintenance when folks are gone. I remember back in the day I patched a few hundred Windows machines on a holiday because I could get it done faster without having to pull Karen away from her Freecell game.
Of course, back then I had to go from PC to PC with a Windows update disk which isn't the case anymore. Maybe they needed to route some cables? Do some network maintenance?
Sounds like the last patch for Windows 3.11
I think it was upgrading to Win 2K but it was a quarter century ago
Windows NT SP6a maybe? Hah. 6 was such a disaster, remember that one?
This. You might be an engineer or scientist who works part of their time in the office part of the building and part time in a workshop or lab.
Chill out about what other people are doing with their lives.
Resibrands is basically franchises for painters and home improvement folks. These are not engineers or scientists.
Would the people who have to deal with hardware not be... where the hardware is? They seem to be sitting in random places.
Seems pretty obvious it's marketing, not reality, though.
For IT or something, if you have an outage because a piece of hardware failed, then you need to look at your network redundancy. single points of failure like that shouldn't exist- and it's been that way for decades if not longer.
if IT is in on a holiday, it's more likely either that their company wants on site coverage because "reasons"... or it's patch day.
The hardware is probably in a climate controlled room beside them. And they’re at the desks monitoring things in a quieter and less restrictive space.
I didn't interpret this as it's bad to make people come to the office that physically need to be there or that it's judging them for not taking PTO. I interpreted this as a cringe showboat where they try to show how cool it is to be in the office and everyone should love being in the office. The commentnand response at the bottom about the open floorplan say it all.
There are also people who gasp DON'T like working from home
Not OP you've responded to, but the post really sets the tone for that.
Is OP's tone really any different than your post?
