So now half of us are in the office, walking around, away from our computers and “collaborating” like management wants, to the absolute exclusion of the other half of the team. And we miss messages, we don’t see reminders, we are just AWAY on Teams to them. And our job is literally done 100% on a computer so all that time NOT on a computer is just wasted. And then when we go to a meeting, we have to walk to a room just to join a teams call and yell at the ceiling so the remote people can hear us. It’s the worse of both worlds. Not remote, not all in office, but mixed.
I could understand it if 100% of employees could be in the office. Then we wouldn’t have to waste time joining a teams call in a meeting room. We could just meet and chat. Fine. But this… This is so bad.
That’s exactly my situation too.
Half my team is out of state and still remote.
