Please direct me to the correct post if I have overlooked it / merge this if possible.
I'm sure a lot of people on here are working from home. For me it has it's pros and cons.
Pros include getting time with my 4.5 yr old and almost 2 yr old girls, not having to fight traffic (45 mins in the morning if I leave at the right time, 60-75 mins in the afternoon getting off at 5), getting to interact with more people, more options for lunch are better, not having to wear a headset (I know some people prefer it but I would rather have an actual phone). Daycare for our oldest daughter (still expensive for us but not to be taken as a con, but rather a pro).
Cons include my girls having melt downs in our 1400 sq ft apartment, the dog barking, my wife also working from home and getting a call when I get a call and one if not both of the girls having a meltdown, not being able to pay attention to the kids, the normally free baby sitter grand parents being 69 yrs old + and my wife and I agreeing to not the let the kids around them like that, making my own lunch (not so bad I guess), daycare continued to charge us through all of this $300 every two weeks for our 4 yr old who attended twice a week though we kept her at home with us during this time.
I'm an independent insurance adjuster and I work for a great company. They have sent me a box of gourmet brownies, a box of face masks, and call every week to check on me and my family. I work in a cubicle type of area and I probably occupy about 120 sq ft much like 16 other people in my department in basically the same roles. We have a lot more people working upstairs in various other roles and maybe smaller work spaces in a much larger area.
The question I've been pondering is if we have been performing so well working from home, what's the point of dressing up and doing the same work at a place where you have to commute almost two hours to and from per day? What's the point of the company continuing to rent/lease this space they have for us all. It's an awesome building afterall but I have the same amount of bathrooms in my 1400 sq ft apartment for both genders as they are paying for this likely 60,000+ sq ft. space per floor (not as many toilets, but 2 urinals and 2 stalls per 20K sq ft or more....)
Anyways, I'd imagine I'm not alone. It seems like a lot of amenities are paid for that aren't really necessary. My work flow has been the same if not better and I feel like the way we enter our work status' would reveal if a statement like that differentiated from the claim. Just curious if others feel the same.
