Working from home gave us flexibility that so many of us repaid by being available at all times. That's about to be gone. No more working after hours, no more responding to late mails, no more giving extra. If we’re back in the office, we’re working office hours. That’s it.

Close to thirty years, this was what gave me my sanity back! Tired of lazy people that don’t do their job , or not having people at all, not to mention 12 to 15 hour days because of that. Upper management is so disconnected they don’t even know how to do their job it’s pass the buck or I don’t know or just a lack of critical information, when this came about, I did not think twice. Because if you think it’s going to change, I don’t see how that’s possible. When I started with this company It was actually a great place to work, they lost their way and they can’t find themselves still!

Lazy, arrogant, uneducated, entitled, useless TRASH do not deserve a job here or anywhere

Now it's just been a futile, sour, disappointing experience. Many of us are genuinely good at our jobs. Management at every level above us is not. What a waste of talent.
