>Remote working has been a disaster for the industry

why not both?

People who were lazy at home were lazy in the office.

>college students
>can't understand fractions and exponents
What the fuck? I started doing fractions in like 4th grade and learned about exponents in 6th or 7th

you let women rule you - you are done for

The solution is not to nix remote positions, but to not hire incompetent lackeys and poojeets.
Also, the problem is not the plandemic, it's that teachers AREN'T ALLOWED to fail incompentnt students (>muh graduation rates).

If they do that games will cost $200

>I work in the games industry.
no you dont

>driving into an office to sit on a computer and work on things i can do from my home computer is fucking mongoloid and youre a fucking idiot to try to argue otherwise.
You can almost hear the IT Guys screaming in the distance when reading this post. No shit we want you retards corralled to a closed network, we can't trust you to keep track of passwords without writing them down; why would we be happy about you taking sensitive/critical data and keeping it on your compromised ass toasters?

But he's right, you jobless zoomer.

Are you one of those "retards" I've heard so much about that think WFH doesn't have methods of making sure you're not dicking around? Needless to say if your actual productivity isn't suffering from working the same or fewer hours in a more comfortable environment then there's no reason at all to be angry about WFH. But I'm not talking to a reasonable person right now, I'm talking to a brown teenager from /int/ or some soulless Ganker LARPer that spends all day pretending he's a fat executive with a cigar and a pinky ring who "knows how it really is."

Not my problem.

I work better at home than at the shitty open plan office we have now because I can do whatever needs to be done when I want, while the office is inconvenient and noisy despite all of us needing to call clients and plan online meetings with them all the time, and commuting there is hell.

ah yes i remember my time in the office before the coof when id remote into my home computer for 4 hours to play wow.

Makes 0 sense to not have them work from home when you can just have them rotate collaboration meetings on a monthly basis and pocket the saved desk fees by downsizing to essentially a conference space. WFH also allows you to tell employees to shut the fuck up and work after hours and on the weekend if work comes in. People tell you to fuck off if they're commuting normally.

retroactively, after they worked from home they implemented horrendous updates to games developed in an office setting.

>because companies don't pay the travel expenses.
there's no way that's true, though. especially in fucking france.

>there's no way I would change from remote to in person unless the company was gonna pay me for the extra hours per day I spent driving to the job, imagine losing 2 hours per day for 0 benefit
Benefit is I'm at my fucking home, anon.

Well that and half about real estate.

>marketing
have a nice day
you do nothing but suck the joy out of every good thing
have a nice day immediately. it is the only way to save your soul. have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day
unironically, completely sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, have a nice day.

If they want me to leave my multi monitor widescreen set up in a job where I have to review digital documents all day to go back to their shitty PCs and tiny screens and bad posture chairs they're dreaming.
And I've been with the company 12 years but I've leave in a heartbeat.

Everytime i hear news about ending wfh is some north american company or canada. Is this really happening worldwide?

WFH is pandoras box. Once it was opened its not going anywhere.
t. Bonglandian and every time I go for a job interview whether its WFH or not is brought up BY the employer in sense of
>Positive: "You'll be pleased to know we offer flexible working solutions - you're able to WFH multiple days a week"
Or
>Negative: "Now... this position ISNT WFH... its entirely office based... how do you feel about that?" (They are visibly worried and must see people back out at this stage to have this reaction)

you guys are just scratching the real reason. failing companies bring back offices to just get people to quit and lower headcount without severance and benefits

> middle manager kun.
they'll always exist because most people cannot be trusted to not fuck around and put in bare minimum, if that

That works too, but I really think there should at least be a periodic mandatory meet-up in person. Once a month as you do would be the bare minimum.

building rapport with your coworkers and higher-ups is very beneficial. you sound like a retarded child who hasn't anything worked in anything above service.

>You will get a morning meeting, but after 3pm good luck getting answers.
I WFH and don't have this problem. Maybe they just don't like you.

no, its like this at all WFH game studios. Especially triple A. You can just hide from the sheer numbers, and someone else will pick up the slack.

Generally speaking, they employ bots to endlessly spam pro-company PR in order to lessen public outcry. Virtually everyone knows that these firms are horrible places to work with a bored management team watching your every move. Other uses for bots include spamming 'subtle' advertising in which 'one of the guys' tells you that things aren't so bad, creating false consensus for elections on both the political and the corporate front, and trying to bait the opposition into circular arguments... Or just bombard the opposing party with spam.

I remember being blown away when my professor showed how much of the internet revolved around selling you a product in 2012. Now it's even worse. Way worse, as the Internet went from ten-big corporations (things were bad even back then) to just four. Look at the five-star Glass Door ratings for Walmart or the 'positive' reviews for complete pieces of shit like the new Star Wars game.
>t. Advertising guy

Its not really a skill issue, its a matter of what industry you are in.
Some industries you can turn it off at 5PM sharp, others you cant.

For example, i know a buddy of mine he works in an office, 9-5, 30 min commute each way, works hard, but once 5 hits he is done.
I work like 7am to 6PM every day of the week, but the thing is, during that time i can do shit like play video games if its a slow day, or catch up on reading or take a workout break, but then there are days i just work all weekend.
Everyone puts in their time one way or another. WFH works for some industies, does not for others.

right so wfh isnt the issue, its your industry.

Yes exactly, thats what i have been saying, WFH works for some industries, it does not for others.
IMO i think if you work a job that the expectation is "We have a dead line to get this done, in these many hours." Like say video games.
THe workers are much better off working from the office not from home. The reason is because if you have office hours 9-5 that means what SHOULD be happening is thats how timeing and budgitting is planned at that point, with the idea that "OK my workers are goign to be here for these hours, this is how much work we can get done in these hours."
If you do work from home, weather or not people will admit it, there will be an expectation to work well past 8 hours a day if it means you can get the project done faster.

WFH can fuck you over if you work to hard is the issue.

But if you look at an industry where its a 24/7 industry, WFH works great because its allows you to be more fluid, "Oh i did not actually do a lot of work between 9-5 but im getting hammered with issues at 7PM.
Vs if you tried that in an office your employee has to sit there from 9-5 in the office basically trying to find shit to do, then get blasted with MORE work at 7pm on top of that, which results in burning out your employees.

I can't because all of my bosses are white. Pajeets only get into work here in America because they were hired by another Pajeet

and sooner than he thinks with how many 'med students' India churns out
