Switching from hybrid from a previous in-office is a great leap forward in a lot of industries.
yep. we were asked 2 days. niw they want to make it 3 or 4. but people just dont go in, and the employer doesnt want to loose us, so they pretend they dont notice. and the work gets done and everyone is happy.
Yep, already had remote working in place, for dealing with weather events. Now I work 60/40 in office some weeks, 40/60 other weeks. Depends on work load.
I'm still working from home 4 days a week, with a mandatory all hands in the office on Wednesdays. (But for some stupid reason still have the morning "check-in" meeting on Teams when everyone's in the office.) But I'm not working from home due to of Covid, so I voted "Other".
We've been working from home for the past 2 years due to COVID. We were recently requested to prepare to return to the office for 2 days a week, starting from May. I can't say I'm eager to do so.
The moved our dev group so we report to someone in New Jersey and the local folks don't want us back in their office. So I will be teleworking from now on.

My organisation is notionally working to a hybrid model, but with a minimum of 3 days a week in office - days decided by each team.

I do a limited amount of coding to earn a lil extra $, almost all in ancient languages. I'm OLD, comfortably retired like the codes I know, and I'm sure they prefer me working from home, or wherever I am, as long as I produce results. I could never work in an office environment, I don't like humans that much anyway. So nope, nope, not going back, I prefer always moving forward.
I hear you and am in the same boat. Been working from home for the last few years and I'm not going back to an office ever. I don't *need* the money any more and could retire yesterday. But I like what I do and am happy to do it - even though it's mostly working with old technology. But I'm not going to commute to sit in an office full of wittering half wits who spend all day making meaningless Powerpoint presentations again ever. Not even if they offer a million a day.
office was re-modeled. no one has a permanent desk anymore. Its all shared corroborative spaces now. Only enough shared desks for 3/4 of the staff at any one time. Have to book a spot on an app to come in. Then clean out everything at the end of the day so it can be wiped down overnight. They gave us lockers, just like being in high school. Additionally onsite parking has tripled in price. (office is not public transport friendly). Almost seems like they don't want us to come back.
I started at this company during COVID and no desk has been assigned. As far as I'm concerned, since the team is spread around the US, there's no good reason to go in to the office. Boss is in Canada/Arizona, dev team is in Chicago, Texas, and Seattle, QA team is in South Carolina and India. My coworker and I are the only ones near the office.

I'm happily working at home making 6 figures and I have zero intention of returning to an office, ever.

*You* might have to worry about getting replaced. Me, I've changed countries 3 times and I've taken my job with me each of those times—most recently
Some meetings - primarily those that are intended to be brainstorming / creative type meetings, will be held in the office. Those sort of meetings just work better in person. I also go to quite a few conferences for work, and I'm eager for them to get back into the swing.
Otherwise I'm going to carry on working from home permanently, not due to Covid but because if you're just sat in front of a screen it's a better way to work.
We were already some way towards that before Covid. Now, there's no going back.
My office(Software company with ~5000 employees) was a 5 days a week shop until Covid hit. We have been able to go in if we want to since around fall 2020. We will be required to go back for Tuesdays and Thursdays in a month or so.
Here's the thing. I actually don't mind going in.
Everyone has their own office with a door so its as distraction-free as it would be at home. They have a nice gym and even without that, I walk around 0.75 miles a day just around the office based on my Apple Watch. There's a top notch cafeteria thats currently free, and the pandemic showed me how much I like letting someone else decide what's for lunch.
I know every office situation is different and if this was any of my previous jobs in cube farms I'd be more inclined to stay remote, but if some companies want people back, they should try making it actually worth coming in.
I go to the office when COVID levels are low. Summer of 2020 I was in, and have been in the office since I was vaccinated. However, I still work from home one day a week.
I was part of a group that the company used to explore the possibility of people returning to the office full time. I was working three days a week in the office, two days a week from home. Unfortunately, that all changed in December when I was struck by a truck while riding my motorcycle back from lunch. Since then, I've been working from home full time till my leg is fully healed.
I am still working from home, but not because of CoViD19, but because my company no longer has an office in my region. The next office is 200 mls away. Immediately before the pandemic, it was known that the company will not continue the lease for our current offices. Instead, we now just have a single room which serves both as a storage room and a makeshift office with just two desks, euphemistically called "project space".
Currently unemployed, but still doing Windows updates on VM's and server, updating Linux VM's, cloning drives to replace other failed drives in my RAID array, rebuilding said RAID array, replacing hardware, upgrading servers, programming in Python and adding code to pastebin.
Feels like work but I'm not getting paid to do it:-)
Because of a pre-existing health condition I wasn't allowed to continue my front line job during the first wave. I was moved to an office based job and had my first experience of working in an office because of COVID!
I was sent to work from home for 2 weeks, when the cases started exploding in my country. Since covid had little impact here, it's been business as usual ever since. Most of my coworkers have had it, but I've been careful and avoided it, since I'm type 1 diabetic and have enough problems to deal with.
I was working at home before Covid, and like others no way am I going back to any regular office situation even if I changed jobs.
My wife however has had to go back to the office - but not as much. They used to be able to work at home two days a week, after going back now they can work at home three days a week so some improvement there.
Honestly though even that amount is not really needed, she worked at home just fine for a year and a half and they could have done without coming in regularly at all.
I lost a job because of COVID when it first started. (The fallout from the lockdowns and eliminating public events and travel decimated the company I was employed with.). I wound up getting hired on at Amazon to do data center I.T. support for them, which would have required a lot of travel around to various locations to replace bad laptops and so on.
Unfortunately, soon after getting hired for it, the company went to an "all hands on deck" mode where they wanted all of us doing phone or chat support (since
I had previously left my job just before Covid when they were in-office only.
Now I've been re-hired as full time remote with no intent to ever go back in-office.
I've been remote for around 8 years now with occasional travel to an office. I wouldn't trade it for anything other than a massive increase in salary. Not that it matters since my nearest office is 5 hours away in a different country.
The company I work for (software, about 500 employees) is taking an "if you want to" approach. Offices are opening, they'd like to see people but no plan to force people back. Considering that over the last 8 years we migrated heavily from a must be in office policy to almost 5
The company sold off the office buildings, and then leased two (of 5) back. So there isn’t room for very many people to return to the office. No services, either. No coffee, no lunchroom. Well, the room is still there, but no lunches to be had in it.
There was a single month of working 100% remote. Other than that, it's been 2 days per week in the office and 3 days remote. Management has noticed that developers can write code at home as well as they do in the cube farm.
Before COVID I was part-time remote, while some co-workers were fully remote. The company has offices in multiple US timezones and in Europe, and my team was split between west and east coast, so we were already doing a lot of virtual meetings.
They sent everyone remote in March of 2020 and I stayed on working fully remote for about a year. I decided I was burnt out and needed a break, so I left at the end of April 2021 and have been on a self-imposed 1-year sabbatical since. I am starting to think a bit a
Our CEO announced six months into the pandemic that we were now fully remote. I'm OK with that.. although I wouldn't mind the occasional f2f meeting with the team, say once every 2-4 weeks. in Toronto, Canada.

Trying to force my body to achieve has taken me from sort-of-able to consider part-time-work to housebound.

If you are referring to refusing Covid vaccination, be aware its main side effects are...
You become less likely to get Covid
You are therefore less likely to infect others, such as the vulnerable, immunocompromised, elderly etc
If you do get it, you are less likely to need hospitalised
If hospitalised, you are less likely to end up in ITU
Whether in ITU or not, you are less likely to die of it
Once "over" covid, you are less likely to experience "long covid
Statistically, if injected, you have a 2 in 1 million chance of an adverse reaction, clot etc - a LOT less than the likelihood of dying from not being vaccinated!
This is what happens when your government is owner/operator of your health care and your news.
Thanks champ, please proselytize somewhere else. Or maybe you think that somehow your particular rendition of these facts is going to be stirring enough to be more persuasive than the thousand other times they heard them?
My employer hasn't (yet) requested people to return to office. I started working for this company during the epidemic, and was told I could work full-remote, all the time. If they mandate office work, I'll submit my resignation. The salary is not my only (or my main) source of income, therefore I can afford putting my foot in the door and not taking shit from anyone. With that being said, it's unlikely this would happen. My team is spread out all over the country, with only one member living in the same city.

My new job is full-time remote, hard stop. Remote work has been so successful they've eliminated most of their back-office footprint.
(In neither case has the Customer-Facing real estate been reduced)
We're fully remote (Score:2)
Our CEO announced six months into the pandemic that we were now fully remote. I'm OK with that .. although I wouldn't mind the occasional f2f meeting with the team, say once every 2-4 weeks. in Toronto, Canada.

Trying to force my body to achieve has taken me from sort-of-able to consider part-time-work to housebound.
Bringing this back to the topic - 'I remain sick enough to be unable to work due to covid, despite it being many months ago'.

My employer hasn't (yet) requested people to return to office. I started working for this company during the epidemic, and was told I could work full-remote, all the time.
If they mandate office work, I'll submit my resignation. The salary is not my only (or my main) source of income, therefore I can afford putting my foot in the door and not taking shit from anyone.
With that being said, it's unlikely this would happen. My team is spread out all over the country, with only one member living in the same city.
