There are a lot of news articles about “back to the office”, but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let’s provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

    If they expect you to commute to the office every day, then you clock in when you leave your house, and clock out when you get home (assuming you’re not stopping between to do personal errands).

      Let’s be real. This is unworkable. A fixed “commute” pay sure but

      • the company has no way to know how long it takes to commute each day
      • the company does not choose where you choose to live
      • your distance from office would be a hiring factor - just a mess for discrimination lawsuits.

      I am for the risk of the commute not falling entirely on the employee. But “job pays for commute” always strikes as a silly proposal.
