Took a job recently after being unemployed for a while. Three days in the office, but only 15 minute commute. Nobody from my team in the city, and nobody I will ever need to work with works in this office. I have almost nothing to do so I've been filling my days doing training on our products. My floor has probably 100 or so cubes with about 20-25 people on on any given day on the whole floor. I sit in a wing of a building with 4 cubes and mine's the only one in use. I go pretty much the whole day without seeing or speaking to another individual.

At least when I worked from home I had my dogs to keep me company. Now i just get in, counting the minutes until I hit 8 hours and leave asap. I'm seriously considering resigning because I'm going nuts.

RTO sucks.

take your shoes off and put on some tunes

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Serious. Live it up.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 months ago

It sounds like your company is really shitty with RTO.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would anyone notice if you started working from home?

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I'm going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn't working and offer to go remote or leave.

Dell by chance? My cousin has been raving about their ridiculous RTO and his story is almost the same as yours (1+ hour commute).

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

No, not dell. Always a bummer to learn other places doing this too though. Every time I see a company is pushing hard on the RTO stuff they just get crossed of my job search list.

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Definitely all the RTO is making people miserable.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Went from comfy WFH clothes and walking the neighborhood on my lunch break to commuting an hour each way back to an office, business causal, and spending lunch in a breakroom.

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Yes, plus the simmering anger that there’s no legitimate reason for all this unpleasantry. It boils down to egos and greed for the already privileged.

[–] shartworx@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

My employer has been intentionally creating a toxic workplace to drive attrition. Several upper managers have said the quiet part out loud in candid AMAs with staff. The top management still sends out uncanny valley soulless-smile emails saying RTO is better for everyone, but it's another excuse to drive layoffs based on location and proximity to an office. I do not interact with a single individual outside of Teams/Zoom on any given day. I honestly think the execs are looting the coffers before the company tanks like investment bankers did to Toys R Us and now Red Lobster. They can make a ton of money and move on to the next ripe fruit.
