This Summer, the Boss Is in the Office While Employees Hit the Beach
Employees who proved their remote productivity in the throes of the pandemic now feel entitled to work where they please, especially in warm weather. And many managers believe they can’t tell subordinates to come back to the office for in-person collaboration without practicing what they preach.
Americans Are Breaking Up With Their Work Friends
Forging office friendships has become harder and less of a priority for many workers over the past two years, during which millions of Americans changed jobs or clocked in from home. Now, the role of workplace friendships is getting a big test as companies seek to rebuild office cultures.

2 年In short the author is trying to say the old way of showing commitment is outdated. I've built my own career on being present, doesn't mean that's how careers will be built in the future. Personally, the face to face interactions, titbits picked up in office, informal chats and mentoring, have been invaluable and helped me get ahead. And while there's an office to be had to work from that's where you'll find me. I’m a social creature, find the office set up much more engaging and better then I could have at home. Plus I find it easier to have better work life balance with the option to work from home, but clear delinination between work life, in the office, and home outside. But doesn't mean I won't have to learn a new way to learn and build relationships moving forward!
