Fine, but if any company makes me wear a mask for 8 hours, I am out of there. Work remotely or come to a normal office sure.
We ask our kids to do it when they go to school. It doesn't seem fair if we're unwilling to do the same.

#12They should switch to a 3 day week full stop, it's ideal - you are selling less than half your time.

#14This might be the worst possible schedule. Mandatory Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays? Terrible. Neither fish nor fowl. Shit, or get off the pot. But deliberately constructing the schedule to make actually getting to work remote impractical is mendacious at best.
The deliberate choice of Thursday over Wednesday is quite a strong indicator that even part-time remote is not an option, so you can't even just commute into the city for work and live a ways away during the rest of the time.

#16Interesting, similar to Google[1]...
I wonder if 3 days in-person will be the new paradigm for big tech companies.

#17I wonder as more companies start to push more people to get back into the office, more people will want to keep working from home, those companies that offer full remote work will be able to pay less and get better employees?
I guess the question is, are you willing to work from home and get paid less than if you're forced to go back in an office? I took a pay cut 8 years ago to work from home, so my answer is YES and after working from home it's HELL YES this was totally worth it.

I would never ask my kids that and I would try to find a school that does not enforce a mask policy.
Especially with children, learning non verbal communication is very important.
