The less time I’ve spent with management on a job the more productive I’ve been.While some work assignments along with VTC allow good interaction with management, I still see people that work remotely becoming less valuable because management can't interact with them on a regular basis. Its kinda you're known, but become someone the manager doesn't communicate that often as they do with other local staff to their work site.
This south SF bay area where the main Apple campus's is indeed returning back to normal, even if we all wear masks when appropriate. So give or take a few more months WFH just won't utilized as much as before, that is just the way it is moving.

No, the political stance is saying “these people should work on-site at their jobs” because “these other people in not only different jobs and companies but entirely different industries have returned to on-site work” to the exclusion of all other variables.
I've been working from home for 4 years now and I still think they're spoiled brats.All the people screaming “spoiled brats“ clearly have not a work from home job
all that envy here… are you living in the old ages? Industry has to evolutionize. And working from home with more flexibility should be taken into consideration.
I‘m don‘t share all their demands etc. but I understand that we shouldn‘t just convert back to the pre-covid days. We can take the things that improved over time into our nice new future.
Sorry I am not too good with metaphors sometimes. And yeah, obviously. Can a construction worker work from home? Can someone working on the new 14/16 laptop chassis work from home? Do they have a lab where they can design and interact with the product? Probably not.
Most regularly scheduled meetings with groups of people are a waste of time. If you really need to meet with someone to work on some aspect of a project you can schedule those as needed.
That is essentially what some of them are doing I bet. Trying to continue to work from home - they like Apple and want to stay as an Apple Employee, but they prefer to work from home. So I bet some will find other work. I know I will have a conversation with my boss if our return to work doesn't go in my favor. And it will be a serious consideration to look elsewhere that does offer fully remote work.
Riiiiight, because the day people are hired at a job, the “rules” are frozen in carbonite and never change. Work policies, benefits, tools, modes of working…those are never amended.
Yes, there is a lot of side talk involved in group meetings. The "team bonding" that people have brought up, that tends to lead co workers to become friends and just talk about random things during important meetings and things. Causes a distraction to the rest of us. Where while working remote they can just chat on Teams.
Yeah perhaps a better spin to this. The news is looking at this differently then us.
My point is that both perspectives are motivated by personal gain. And again, the employees here have an obligation to push the issue. It seems clear that employers benefited greatly from the pandemic and a 'return to normal' should come with significant expense for them.
What non-sense is it to speak like employers are entitled to enter one's home without recourse? That's what occurred over the past year. These companies need more than a bite, they need to be neutered too.
