The average employee returning to the office spends $561 per month–that's the average two-person household’s grocery bill in the U.S. for the entire month.

    Can confirm. I have to be in the office way more now and everyone hates it. I work way less than I used to to recoup the misery of commuting.

      Most people only have around 4 hours of highly productive work in them a day. The rest is just filler on an 8+ hour day when nothing much is accomplished. Or even worse, it’s when errors are made that take away from productivity as they fix them.

      Commuting sucks out of the highly productive time. So if someone commutes for 2 hours a day, that’s 50% less productivity to the company.

      For the managerial types out there. The old adage is completely wrong. Time is not money, productivity is money.

        Dude, you’re making someone work when they’re probably pretty sick.

        Why not just tell them to take the time they need to rest, and don’t worry about the PTO?

        No one’s making you punish someone for being sick.

            Sure sounds like you enforce them though.

            When I got COVID, my boss told me to just rest until I was better and explicitly told me not to put in PTO because there’s better things to use it for.

            Sorry, but the way you’re angry at someone for not being productive while sick makes me assume you’re in the wrong here.
