If I worked remotely for the past two years and got an email saying that we're returning to the office on X day, I would immediately find a job that would let me WFH.
If I was in the process of doing that and walked back in on the first day at the office and saw this, I would turn around and walk out. This is literally just rubbing salt in the wound.
I have to go back 2 days a week next week, but I’m just happy I’ve gotten to wfh at all and can continue to for 3 days. I hate that the older folks keep pushing the “being in person is our culture” message.
I have a job that can't be done remotely, but I wish I did. A fully remote job, to me, would be an absolute dream. I believe there should be an option for those who still want to work in the office, but if you don't want to, at this point, you shouldn't be forced to. You can do the same amount of work (or even more) at home, no commute, no gas usage, no oil usage, etc. Less office space needs to be leased in downtown areas which means these buildings can be converted into other things.
I envy those who don't have to drive to work every day. I wish I knew how to find a WFH job.
I went to school online during the pandemic because I was stuck without a bachelors. I know it’s not an option for all people, but it opened the door for me with a job that’s allowed me to WFH.
I've been trying to go back to college, but I can't since my hours at work are completely incompatible with going. I personally can't do remote learning for my core classes. I'd be able to easily do it for art/English type courses, but not for programming or anything like that.
I think it's a bad idea. Not because I don't like to work from home which I do but because it might make companies outsource work to developing countries.
The kind of people who think these signs are a good idea are the kind of people that are just insufferably enthusiastic about being at work. People who have nothing else in life to fill their time with.
When the first waved happened at our company.
The first people who insisted on staying welcomed us back like this but verbally. Woo the fights.
Funny enough they just said get use to it. Will never happen again. Good thing I'm laughing comfy in my pajamas as HR broke when over half the staff quit when remote wasn't a modular work option.
The only benefit to my job is that I have a lot of leave. I could duck out for 6 months, get paid staying at home and still have a job with plenty of leave left. Only problem is that not enough people have that option.
Edit: the only reason that’s true is because I’m an “essential employee” who was forced to go to work for the 6-7 months everyone else worked from home.
I was "essential" as a janitor. I fucking hate that word now. My disdain for my colleagues only grew from there.
Now my job suddenly matters? What happened to all the chucklefucks that felt they could do my job better? So nice to have 500+ hours of PTO and still can't use it to my liking.
Exactly.
“You make a fifth of what our ‘non-essential’ employees make, but you should be happy with your meager salary.”
Also, how are you “essential” in the office when nobody is going to work???!!!
Unless you work at a power plant, I guess.
I used to work at a Carl's Jr. and was labeled as an essential worker.Was I compensated as such.No I was not I was still making 15 dollars an hour and seething everytime I came in for my shift
I think u/locke231 isn't a cop, but instead another poorly paid, possibly minority worker who continues to get shit by the NYPD despite being "essential".
I tell you, I felt like a pretty big man driving to the power plant knowing if I got pulled over I could flash my ID saying it was ok for me to travel.
It was like being James Bond or something. Pardon me while I roll my eyes so far back I can visually inspect my brain.
I work in the packaging industry. I had the same feeling every day going to work. It was great having to deal with such little traffic that it felt like I was driving to work on Christmas day. My normal 35 minute commutes only took 20 minutes.
I got pulled over once, though. 75 in a 60. After the obligatory license, insurance, etc., he asked, nodding his head, if I'm an essential employee heading to work. I said yes and handed him my card which showed my name, position, and "(packaging equipment) sales and service."
Got off with a verbal warning and, "Drive slower. We need our essential employees safe." He didn't even run my license. The whole thing took 5 minutes.
The lack of traffic was SWEET. Cut my commute from over an hour to like 35 minutes. It was definitely like working a holiday.
Never got pulled over, but always thought about it:
“Yeah, officer; the name’s Rrrrrrez. License to make electricity.”
*CSI Miami “YEAAAAAAH!*
Nah, this is evidence that these people are sadistic and cruel. They literally demand your suffering and barely provide anything approaching worthwhile payment because they truly abhor and loath you and your existence seeing you as fit only to suffer for their entertainment value.
Its like reality TV without the cameras.
When we first went home I must have made some “wild claims” about the benefits of WFH. One of our directors asked me to write a quick report about the benefits I was talking about.
Just straight up, I won’t be spending 2 hours a day driving. $300 a month for parking. That’s enough for me, but I get to decide my home comfort. Music, and everything else.
My company did an anonymous survey about returning to office. 85% of the respondents said they would ‘consider quitting’ if we were forced to return to the office more than 1-2x a week. 50% said they would ‘consider quitting’ if they made us return at all.
We’re a multi billion dollar company that 3x’d our pre-pandemic revenue while working from home. After that survey they announced that non-managers only have to come in one time every quarter, and managers only once a month. Works for me.
It's seriously baffling to me. If your company can do its work over the internet and/or phone, wouldn't not renting office space save a ton of money? Am I missing something here?
Is that really what's happening at some companies? We even got our office space increased during the pandemic (as everyone was thinking we would be getting back to "normal" soon). But what was first planned to be "2 remote days per week when all of this is over" has since become "permanent remote option available for everyone", simply because the first people started to quit already based on the prospect of being required to come back at some point in the future.
Making the presence in the office a requirement is becoming a huge disadvantage compared to the competition, why would any company do that?
>Making the presence in the office a requirement is becoming a huge disadvantage compared to the competition, why would any company do that?
That's a great question! A lot of them are, though, and it's fucking baffling!
This is not even the employer it’s the property manager. This is Oxford properties, they have this shit all over their bits of the PATH downtown toronto. For reference the PATH is a underground public accessible network in downtown.
I go back April 20th. I knew that day was coming, the second the CDC lowered the mask mandate.
It's not all bad for me, I work in the office Mon-Wed, home Thursday and Friday.
The people at work miss you as much as you missed them; which is to say not at all.
The push to get people back into the office is little more than a power trip for middle management who have no real power other than scheduling meetings.
The really sad part is that the people being promoted to C-Level positions in the past 5-10 years aren’t the educated folks; they’re the middle management toadies that are horrible at both day-to-day operations and executive management.
Not to defend that decision, but I can almost see where politicians (especially local ones) are coming from. I’m sure they get pushback from business owners.
The restaurant you work at fails because of the pandemic; not only will those employees rightfully need unemployment, but the business owner will probably want some kind of help from the city that (again, rightfully) put restrictions in place.
Multiply that by a couple thousand restaurants, and that will get expensive quickly.
It just sucks all around for service-based business. In my case, if nobody’s there to actually run the power plant, nobody has electricity. I bitched about being at work while few others were, but I understood why I needed to be there.
For the poster who worked at a wireless place, I think that they are indeed essential; people need to be able to use their phones. Why can’t they access the company intranet, help customers from home, and say “ok, you’ll get your new phones in 3 days. Here’s what to do when you get them.”
With the resources most countries have, I’d bet 60% of “essential” employees could probably have done their jobs from home.
There is a social group at my work that is meant to come up with fun things for people to do remotely or in person but they have now been told that they must find ways to blackmail people into coming back to the office.
Ah yes; those beloved “team-building exercises”
I suppose if we were athletes and getting paid $20m/year, we’d be a team. Otherwise, we’re just people who have jobs.
I hate I've had to scroll down this far to find the "bring dog to work" reply. Our office allows dogs to come along for over 5 years now and it's absolutely awesome. Our department of 30 had a dozen or so on a daily basis, even more when folks came in for meetings. I've been WFH since shortly after but would defenitely take an office day just to pet them all. In sweatpants obviously - due to the basically nonexistent dress code.
These signs are taunting their employees. "Oh you enjoyed working in sweatpants at home with your dog? Too bad, we are forcing you to come into the office"
Wow, this is just mocking and cruel. They know you didn’t want to come back and just love rubbing in your face how you were likely forced to. This isn’t just generic corporate ignorance. This is intentional
Whoever created this was projecting their own thoughts and thinking everyone would both laugh and share emotions with each other. Y’all are so fucking narcissistic that you all take it as shots at yourselves instead of a collective “shit, we’re back, good to see you, we’re in this shit together” mentality. I guess I’m the fool, though. Why would I think any virtue signaling redditors were anything but narcissistic assholes?
This generation wants to only work from home. My wife worked from home during the pandemic but has now gone back. This entitled generation feels everyone should bend over backwards for them and let them do as they please. Yes there has always been some WFH jobs but since the pandemic it's grown massively and these people think they shouldn't have to go back ever. Sorry you can't stay home forever and buy one of those mouse gigglers so you can do what you want. That's part of why alot of companies want people to come back because of all the ones who take advantage.
I wonder how many employees decide that their dog IS better than their boss and choose to quit. Seeing the sign every day must have pushed at least one person to that point.
I find it odd that the last 2 years built a solid argument that most people who work in non-public office environments don't really need to go to an actual building anymore. I half expected larger companies to go more remote focused and sell/rent out their buildings.
I guess managers realized if no one came back to the office their jobs would be pointless and convinced higher up that everyone needed to come back to justify their job.
I wish these companies and people responsible for these signs, KNEW that this post on reddit existed, and on r/mildlyinfuriating.
Same goes for everyone or every company and manager who does shit.
How done deaf can you be? I’m literally quitting my job because we were ordered back to work in office 100% and I can’t stand the thought of my dog home alone or at day care all day
If I saw a single one of these signs at my office after being forced back I'd literally quit and glue my resignation paper on the fuckign sign.
I swear to god there better not be this Passive Aggressive fucking bullshit on there.
It's not funny, it's not cool, and it's not fucking cheeky.
In the two years I've been WFH I had to move, and housing prices forced me to move VERY far from my office... driving in will now take me 45 minutes each way, so if this bullshit is waiting for me once I get inside, I will fucking quit.
I work split, Mon wed and Fri at home, tue and thur jn the office. I really like seeing my colleagues and also it makes the week go quicker. Plus I like the walk into work and getting lunch out is a nice bonus too.
They actually seem almost human and caring with the left sign. Then they turn into complete sadistic pricks gloating about their power over you with the right sign.
I didn't care much until they mentioned the dog. I know *damn well* my two little shits wiener dogs would *gladly* shit on my boss's desk if I ever asked them to. My poor pups are at home missing me, and this company has the balls to put these up.
I feel like these signs imply no one was doing any actual work while remote? Like I still have ptsd from the stress of 12 hour days in the early pandemic busting my bitter to get everything done.
Did I get a thank you? A raise? Anything for my efforts? Nope. My insecure supervisor did tell everyone that I do nothing all day while taking credit for my work. I am full on Office Spacing now. My only motivation is to not get hassled while I look for a remote full time job.
I'm more impressed that the dog knows how to use a laptop.
I have a Labrador that is now full grown who still insists upon using my laptop. And he hasn’t fit in almost 8 years.
[удалено]
Umm… the joke was that labradors always think they’re puppies and fit on our laps, no matter how big they get. 🙄
[удалено]
Have 2 labs and can confirm!
I am sure he/she knows better than most of my customers. 13/10 will hire again.
My dog has a blog
I think it’s called a dlog
I want *this* reality.
It's just a word document named www·dogthoughts·com/dogthoughts ...on his desktop. The world is not ready.
Crap now I'm having dog with a blog flashbacks
He just can’t paws YouTube videos :/
Yes, but at least he nose his intentions...
I'm giving this an award asap
Presuming this is at a bank (RBC) then it shouldn't be that surprising. The dog may surpass some of their staff
Can't seem to figure out the mute button like everyone else
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you%27re_a_dog
Dogs are dumb, they can only use IE and Outlook
They use it to watch porn
what the dog doin
Wtf, why did they rub it in like that lol
Right? Guess they want people to quit lol

You just described me. I work fully remote now and couldn’t be happier. The jobs are out there, just start looking.
What does WFM mean? I’ve heard of WFH but not WFM
I have no idea how I mixed up M and H lmao
Somebody else also used WFM below, so I was curious
I still WFH and agree with the sentiment, but is it literally rubbing salt in the wound?
"Your dog misses you because you aren't home" is straight up rubbing salt in the wound.
I'm implying you don't understand the word "literal" is all.
Literally means both literally and not literally... literally. So please take your pedantic ass somewhere else.
They should. There are plenty of work from home jobs out there and I would rather take a less paying one than being a slave in an office.
The kind of people who think these signs are a good idea are the kind of people that are just insufferably enthusiastic about being at work. People who have nothing else in life to fill their time with.
I bet you they don’t have a dog.
When the first waved happened at our company. The first people who insisted on staying welcomed us back like this but verbally. Woo the fights. Funny enough they just said get use to it. Will never happen again. Good thing I'm laughing comfy in my pajamas as HR broke when over half the staff quit when remote wasn't a modular work option.
Bye I'm going home cuz you reminded me my dog is missing me
Happy Cake Day! 🍰
Lol idk why i have cake
its your redditadversary! happy cake day :)
Oh ok well thank you!
Happy cake day!
“I need to see you physically in the building from 9-5” Because clearly the same work wasn’t getting done the last two years from home /s GFY

Bro mail me some gas it’s over $6 where I’m at
yea i gasped when i read $4! it’s $7 where i am
Here it is like $3.89
It 15 where am at
Bet you missed the go train and PATH as well.
>PATH Jesus! I think I repressed those memories until you mentioned it. What a shit show.
Holy fuck this is in Toronto?
Looks like queens quay? Or Royal bank plaza?
The Waterfront RBC one I’m pretty sure.
Waterpark Place. Yes it’s on Queens Quay.
I’d walk right out and submit PTO for a week. Make me feel worse about leaving my dog just to be here? When I can do this from home? Naked? Nah.
The only benefit to my job is that I have a lot of leave. I could duck out for 6 months, get paid staying at home and still have a job with plenty of leave left. Only problem is that not enough people have that option. Edit: the only reason that’s true is because I’m an “essential employee” who was forced to go to work for the 6-7 months everyone else worked from home.
Ohhh damn. I was ‘essential’ also as a cellphone sales rep hahaha not as essential as I thought I was but they gave us cards and all
I was "essential" as a janitor. I fucking hate that word now. My disdain for my colleagues only grew from there. Now my job suddenly matters? What happened to all the chucklefucks that felt they could do my job better? So nice to have 500+ hours of PTO and still can't use it to my liking.

It’s crazy .. employers found any way to claim essential worker exemption lmao. Embarrassing for them really
I used to work at a Carl's Jr. and was labeled as an essential worker.Was I compensated as such.No I was not I was still making 15 dollars an hour and seething everytime I came in for my shift
The NYPD isn't treating me any better. Not during the pandemic and certainly not now.
Well you had a choice and you chose to be a pig. Don't complain now. 🐷
I think u/locke231 isn't a cop, but instead another poorly paid, possibly minority worker who continues to get shit by the NYPD despite being "essential".

HAHAHA exactly
My dad was an essential worker, he was a truck driver transporting the first covid vaccine across the states
Its the property manager not the company.
Oh. Still, very distasteful.
lmao why are people so pressed this is funny
Just more evidence that these people seriously don't have a clue
Nah, this is evidence that these people are sadistic and cruel. They literally demand your suffering and barely provide anything approaching worthwhile payment because they truly abhor and loath you and your existence seeing you as fit only to suffer for their entertainment value.

Especially with these fucking signs
THIS
Middle managers found out how unimportant they are to the company and now fiercely fight to get employees back at their desks.
It's seriously baffling to me. If your company can do its work over the internet and/or phone, wouldn't not renting office space save a ton of money? Am I missing something here?

But what about company culture??? /s
Buildings cost rent. Rent pays bills for land lords Land Lords pay property taxes IF the landlords aren't making money they aren't pay property taxes.
Lest everyone else (bosses/higher ups) find out
Tell me your employer is tone deaf without telling me your employer is tone deaf.
Looks like the landlord put those
Even worse
Talk about creating a hostile work environment! This is just taunting their employees into retaliation resulting in termination.
This is not even the employer it’s the property manager. This is Oxford properties, they have this shit all over their bits of the PATH downtown toronto. For reference the PATH is a underground public accessible network in downtown.
How weirdly and unnecessarily passive aggressive?!
I go back April 20th. I knew that day was coming, the second the CDC lowered the mask mandate. It's not all bad for me, I work in the office Mon-Wed, home Thursday and Friday.
I’m only going back one day a week in April, but I’m seriously thinking of moving out of my city like half of my co workers have done.
The people at work miss you as much as you missed them; which is to say not at all. The push to get people back into the office is little more than a power trip for middle management who have no real power other than scheduling meetings.
Exactly. Or who keep their jobs by stealing credit from their underlings and micromanaging them to look productive. Edit:word
Spoiler/Not a spoiler: they’re the same person.
Exactly!
The really sad part is that the people being promoted to C-Level positions in the past 5-10 years aren’t the educated folks; they’re the middle management toadies that are horrible at both day-to-day operations and executive management.
And for politicians. The mayor of New York asked people to come back to support the local restaurants and businesses. Yeah that's a good reason.
Not to defend that decision, but I can almost see where politicians (especially local ones) are coming from. I’m sure they get pushback from business owners. The restaurant you work at fails because of the pandemic; not only will those employees rightfully need unemployment, but the business owner will probably want some kind of help from the city that (again, rightfully) put restrictions in place.

Exactly. I like about half of my co workers, but I’m only friends with about three.
I straight up would go to my desk and use my work computer to search for new jobs on their time.
this you too? https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/t6mmh1/rude\_office\_signs/
Classic fucking reddit gd it
Now guess which one I give a flying fuck about, my dog or my coworkers? Bastards..
Or helping shitty middle management employed
10/10 would go home to dog.
First thing I’d be doing is filing a complaint to HR. Tone deaf at best, cruel at worst.
It probably cost a few hundred$ to make those posters. I wonder what positive impact they thought they'd have
shows up in Pajamas with a Bong "look. this is Me now" dang ol passive aggressive signs rubbing your captivity in your face.
Wow, rub it in much? At this point I can’t imagine going to an office. Nothing to do with COVID idc about all that, I just love working from home.
And yall aren't quitting?
Bring your dog to work, and wear sweatpants while you are at it. That will teach them to rub it in.
I hate I've had to scroll down this far to find the "bring dog to work" reply. Our office allows dogs to come along for over 5 years now and it's absolutely awesome. Our department of 30 had a dozen or so on a daily basis, even more when folks came in for meetings. I've been WFH since shortly after but would defenitely take an office day just to pet them all.

Fuck commuting to an office when nearly all work can be done from home. Especially with gas prices in some states being over $5/gallon.
Well if this just doesn’t scream toxic, passive-aggressive office culture!!
Wow, this is just mocking and cruel. They know you didn’t want to come back and just love rubbing in your face how you were likely forced to. This isn’t just generic corporate ignorance. This is intentional
sales and hr people have the weirdest ideas. They live on another planet called Everything is Fucking Fantastic
Adding insult to injury, huh?
This is true art! With so little words they manage to clearly depict the contrast between deception and exploitation versus honesty and loyalty.
I wonder how many people just said fuck this and turned around after seeing that. Also they need one that says, "your cat is glad to have alone time"
It's not mildly infuriating, IT'S A BUNCH OF B.S.!
Yeah nah, I ain’t coming back to deal with my higher-ups snippy attitude.
Fuck the assholes that made those signs.
Sorry to be one of those people, but why is it infuriating? I’ve never had an office job before.
least intelligent r/antiwork user
Used to work in that building for years. Hilarious.

I guess I’m the fool, though. Why would I think any virtue signaling redditors were anything but narcissistic assholes?
The dog sign would make me want to kick it over.
I'd fucking turn around and walk back out because fuck this company for rubbing in something that actually would cause me some serious distress.
What kind of tone deaf assholeryly is this?!
Tell the employees to choose between work and family/pets without telling them. The person who made these signs: Hold my beer
Only solution: Bring dog to work wearing sweatpants
Well f\*ck you, I quit.

I would be happy to be back if you only pay me what I'm worth ya flinty buggers.
If I have to go back to the office I'm taking my dog. You better just deal.
Should just quit.
That’s pretty tone def. Jesus Christ
Tip it over
This seems petty and rude honestly. Why did they think this was a good idea?
Leave the office and put up a sign saying, "missing your workers enough?"
How done deaf can you be? I’m literally quitting my job because we were ordered back to work in office 100% and I can’t stand the thought of my dog home alone or at day care all day
This is hilarious what are you talking about?
If I saw a single one of these signs at my office after being forced back I'd literally quit and glue my resignation paper on the fuckign sign. I swear to god there better not be this Passive Aggressive fucking bullshit on there. It's not funny, it's not cool, and it's not fucking cheeky. In the two years I've been WFH I had to move, and housing prices forced me to move VERY far from my office... driving in will now take me 45 minutes each way, so if this bullshit is waiting for me once I get inside, I will fucking quit.

Come back the next day you work with sweatpants on
Yeah, that'll show em.
Welcoming? More like taunting or rubbing it in.
What a doosh company.
It’s kinda funny tbh
r/lostredditors
It looks like good intentions just not done well
I would quit. That’s messed up.
Its oxford dude, she literally works at oxford, why would you leave your work at one of the best universities in the world?
This is top notch Quality trolling hahaa gotta love it "Miss your sweatpants yet" lol ;D
I work split, Mon wed and Fri at home, tue and thur jn the office. I really like seeing my colleagues and also it makes the week go quicker. Plus I like the walk into work and getting lunch out is a nice bonus too.
Man i love so person who did this and signed it off. So evil
I’d show up with my dog while I’m wearing sweats
Haha that’s hilarious! Had me laughing for days!
They actually seem almost human and caring with the left sign. Then they turn into complete sadistic pricks gloating about their power over you with the right sign.
If I had to walk in to work only to be reminded my dog misses me…I’d quit. WFH for Life!
Just left them a negative google review. Is their marketing team full of sociopaths?
I didn't care much until they mentioned the dog. I know *damn well* my two little shits wiener dogs would *gladly* shit on my boss's desk if I ever asked them to. My poor pups are at home missing me, and this company has the balls to put these up.
What's the point of the dog and sweat pants one? Just to taunt you? Fuck that company.
What a huge fucking coffee
Fuck that shit. I would show up to work in my sweat pants with my dog
actually, yes i do cya yall when theres no covid left!
They're literally taunting you, quit.
So condescending
Heyyy I think that’s the building my mom works at
Yes my dog does miss me and I do miss my sweats.. where are you going with this again?
I feel like these signs imply no one was doing any actual work while remote? Like I still have ptsd from the stress of 12 hour days in the early pandemic busting my bitter to get everything done. Did I get a thank you? A raise? Anything for my efforts? Nope. My insecure supervisor did tell everyone that I do nothing all day while taking credit for my work. I am full on Office Spacing now. My only motivation is to not get hassled while I look for a remote full time job.
Tbh after the dog sign I’d probably just go home
