Werkgever lokt thuiswerker naar kantoor met smoothiebar en filmavondjes
nos.nl
Voor wie een kantoorbaan heeft, ziet dat de werkvloer vaker functioneert als een ontmoetingsplaats. De inrichting is zelfs een personeelslokkertje geworden.

My energy supplier did not respond when asking them if I could pay my invoice with smoothies.

      I personally deeply hate working from home, but I work a 5 minute walk from my home and have great coworkers. My job also wouldn’t allow it full time, but that’s not important here.

      I am, however, willing to fight for your rights to work at home. I’ve seen coworkers greatly improve in output and general mental state by working at home.

    if my work told me that my work was being rewarded with a movie night i would probably scream in rage (internally)

      I’m at a point in my life where I would scream externally, hard, and with my coworkers

    What’s the deal with companies preferring people going to the office rather than working from home?

    I like the office environment but that’s a personal preference, although I feel like people are more productive or at least more objective when working from home, so what’s in it for the companies?

      It’s a control thing; and justifying their sinking millions and millions of dollars in stolen labor into modern-“pretty” campuses so they can have a corral to keep the laborers penned in.

      Been thinking about this as well. It seems to be cheaper to downscale in office and let them WFH.

      I think it’s partly control that you have when all your employees are there.

      The main thing, I think, is conceding in workers rights. When people realise that they can have a better home-work balance by making changes and demanding extra’s, hell would break loose for them.

    Sorry for not offering a translated version. I posted it right before I went to work, where there is no smoothie bar. Will update soon, or feel free to do it yourself.

        I help people at work, and since instances that help people are purposefully underfunded we can have no smoothie bar. Thanks, capitalism. >:(

    Why the fuck are they tripling down on in person work? Isn’t WFH cheaper for the employer? And numerous studies have clearly shown it’s just as productive after the transition pains, while reducing employee stress and giving them more free time for the same amount of work done. Even from a capitalism perspective this makes no sense, and I suspect it’s just to pad the egos of management from seeing the workers chained to their desks after scrambling to get to the office on time through rush hour traffic, and not kicking back in their home 15 minutes after waking up, casually munching on breakfast at the keyboard, on computers that they themselves own and have the admin password for (I work from home as does our entire department, and this is the norm for us). Also, I imagine it’s hard to assert your god complex on workers when they can mute the app.
