Take it Slow
Cordova, TN; June 14, in the year of our Lord 2021 -- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. The work environments are shifting again for a great many workers. Plenty of people working at a plethora of companies are being told to report back to the office due to loosening restrictions on masks and in person events. This has caused a great deal of stress and anxiety to many workers who adapted to work from home. I can completely relate and understand how many of ya'll feel. You did not sign on to work from home, but adapted and made the best of it. Many of ya'll realized how great it is to work from home and do not want to lose it.
I have worked day jobs in the past where I worked from home full time and it worked marvelously. I save an hour a day not having to commute by working from home. I get more work done by working from home. There are not people constantly coming by to chat about non work related items. Whether it be news, sports, pets, family or some other topic it wastes time on site. I know plenty of micro-managers who hated work from home because they could not keep their people under their thumb. Even the micro-managers had to admit the work was getting done and things worked beautifully. Those same micro-managers are leading the charge to get everyone back on site in the office as fast as possible. I would hope they would listen to their employees and comprehend diversity means some people prefer working from home.
I have read articles that there is a fear many workers will quit their jobs if they lose the ability to work from home. I get it totally and completely. I would ask that you take it slow there. Maybe you try and negotiate a work from home strategy with your manager and company as a whole. You can also stay there and look for a different job where work from home is supported. If your company does an employee survey then let your feelings be known there. Upper management pays attention to low scores and reads the feedback. Upper management knows it can't make everyone happy. If however there is a theme from multiple employees on the same topic they will address it. You proved work from home works and more work gets done. Managers stuck in the manufacturing assembling line work force concept need to mature into the current century. Find ways to incorporate work from home into the company culture.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
