Young employees are losing out ‘on a lot’ by not going to the office, business experts say

Missing out on in office covid outbreaks

I was way less stressed when working from home.

Yep, losing out on long commutes, waking up early for said commutes and annoying ass gossiping coworkers

And getting fired for reasons OTHER THAN coming in on time and doing work properly.

These employers are on cocaine, to think that these long commutes and shytty office culture that reeks of indentured servitude, should be life.

For experienced professionals, remote work is a dream come true.

• Less time wasted on commuting
• Less interaction with people you might not like so less stress and irritation
• more time to have deep focus and really get your best work done
• more efficient use of downtime to do time wasting chores around the house making your evenings and weekends really your free time
• You can eat anytime so less money wasted on eating out randomly and lunch preps
• More time to schedule appts like annual health check ups or car oil changes
• Less of a need to unwind after work

For younger new employees, it could be a fukking nightmare

• Less onboarding experience
• Less people to shadow/copy for your new role
• Less info to figure out the workings of the company
• Less situational and observational awareness opportunities
• Less network insight to related things that might help you in your role or career
• More blind spots because only your superior is checking in on you

The best solution is hybrid on and offsite schedules, to get best of both worlds

If it's a nightmare, it's by design.

I agree that networking is valuable, but those workplaces are messing with people’s mental health, and overall well being.

They dont care. Its all about control. Imagine another grown man telling me WHEN to eat??

I agree, but we are not in the era where companies promote their workers for
Millennials know you have to jump jobs every once in a while if you want to get a promotion.

Valid points, but all things that can be overcomed.

You just need a process, that's it.
Once you have a process you good to go.
My company has onboarding buddies.
Say you work for Saputo, just get assigned maybe 3 saputo buddies, set up cadences and you good.

Okay let's be real here, most companies even when onsite have horrible onboarding procedures, if any.
It's very often throw you in the water and learn to swim.
You only learn because of people around you not because any company has a good onboarding process.
Now, you just need to make that a process and virtualize it.

Right but most companies only do good onboarding for company info and hr policies, not onboarding for the specific role itself
Even being assigned buddies is not the same as actually seeing different department personnel at work doing what they do

My last job was mostly a desk gig reviewing other people's work.
But I took it upon myself to go out on the mfg floor, meet operators, supervisors, managers, make friends in various depts, look up who answers to who, hear everyone's motivations and goals. Within 2 months I was approving things and once in a while being asked to lead a couple meetings because I had that reach at that point.
Being onsite def helps the learning curve depending on the job. If the newbie has a go getter mindset but is remote, there's gonna be some roadblocks.
He or she may be able to get the immediate job done but that growth is gonna be stunted for a while because all they think about is just doing their job and clocking out when the road to leadership involves way more than that.

Most experienced people already paid their dues. They're no longer eager to add stress to go to the next level of leadership and deal with the political bs. So they just want to get paid and have work life balance. New professionals haven't gotten there yet. They still have lots to learn. Some of that stuff is def not gonna come through on Teams or Webex.

It should be hybrid schedules for newbies and becomes more days offsite/ full remote for the really experienced folks.

One thing i will say, you make much better connections in person than you do virtual. And those connections will pay off eventually within your industry.

I transformed my home office into basically an executive suite. I got records, memorabilia, TV and games, food and drink, a couch, the whole 9 in here.

Breh went all out

There’s probably some merit to what they are saying but it’s a whole new world (hyperbole). Business networking still happens, it doesn’t have to happen face to face. If there is anything that I’ve learned in my time on this earth, it’s that people, and cultures change. Whatever comes next, people that want to adapt will adapt and those that don’t, won’t. And both can still thrive. There’s an entire generation of folks who are way more gun ho than their parent’s generation was as far as business is concerned. There “under 30’s” will be just fine.

These Satanists want you to work in the office during the height of the pandemic, while they hide in isolated places.

And people have the nerve to cape for these big companies.

Would You participate on a neg train, on certain posters, if I tagged them?

The ones That support the corporate BS.

Time is the most precious thing we have on this Earth. And you gain a lot of it by not going to the office.
