a university with which I have some familiarity is contemplating having all workers who can be remote be remote for the foreseeable future.

if you want an assigned office at work, you will have to apply to have one like you used to have to apply to be remote.

I'm cool at home, I guess. I just ordered a new (larger) desk and some gear to get some clothes into storage in the basement so I can be more effective here.

Responses:

I'd rather be in the office, but our department hasn't lost efficiency during work from home so we will be the last ones back. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 12:29
Saves on Brick & Mortar costs. Would the Uni compensate for WFH hardware / Internet? -- nm* - budice Jun 3, 12:25 1
- I'm fine, and work more efficiently from Home. Since some LA Protests were within blocks of my office, I'll likely be WFH for awhile -- nm* - budice Jun 3, 12:32
the IM first sentence is wow -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 12:24 2
- Professors having office hours in their apartments sounds... sketchy. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:25 1
  - so instructors are going to be asked to come to work. this gets less dangerous if the vast majority of administrative workers are WFH. -- nm* - amanda Jun 3, 12:40
Given my druthers, I’d prefer to be in the office. - znufrii Jun 3, 12:23 5
- I would prefer 3 days in, 2 days at home. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 12:24 4
  - the problem with this, we are finding, is hoteling. ideally, you would share space with a coworker who is 2/3 to your 3/2. - amanda Jun 3, 12:39 1
    - that's expected to be an issue for us 2 years when we are supposed to move to HVD. My current space is large enough to allow our group - Diva Jun 3, 12:46
  - The biggest challenge for me is not being able to print stuff at home because of data security issues - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 12:28 1
    - a lot of my colleagues are having the same issue. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 12:29
wow. although this could mean you score a big corner office with a great view if you apply to go into the office -- nm - decline Jun 3, 12:20
My wife's university is doing that (she hates it and wants back in). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 12:19
