RTO? Not Bloody Likely!

RTO? Not Bloody Likely!
RTO? Not Bloody Likely!

Periodically we’ve been hearing about a movement to Return To the Office now that the panicdemic – if not to some people’s minds the pandemic itself – is over. For most of a year now we’ve been hearing about it and that is likely to increase in frequency, desperation, and stridency in 2023. But, quite frankly, I don’t see it happening for the most part or across many industries that actually moved to remote work due to COVID-19.

But, simply and statistically put, the majority of workers who can work remotely want to continue to do so forever. Hence, it’s not bloody likely that RTO will gain much traction in the foreseeable future.

I’m Not Even Going To Try Getting My Work Clothes Back

And besides, the wise amongst us have already repurposed our investmentwearthe clothes we purchased and maintained for fiduciary purposes – for other purposes that brought us better, more immediate, and more long-lasting benefits. 😉

I mean, honestly, I haven’t worm my old businesswear in years and I’m not going to try to get them back from my women at this point.

Meetings Today

COVID-19, the panic surrounding it, and the actions taken by those who’ve chosen to profit from it, have changed a great deal in America. One of the most changed areas of our lives has been work – if we’ve still got jobs to “go to” – and the meetings that have always seemed, to me at least, to be a disproportionate part of it.

Yeah – cats, dogs, small children, they all change how we work and have to prepare for meetings today. And really! The pleasant changes in businesswear don’t outweigh the issues they present.

😆 ROFLMAO 😆 This! This just might be one of the unsung benefits of the pandemic turning most of us into shut-ins. I’m pretty sure I’m not in the minority, and certainly very far from the only one, who’s wished to be able to do that through most of their career.

But… the Coronavirus is not an ill wind that blows nobody any good. With so many of us working from home, the advantages presented are obvious and many of us can better spend our time after and/or between meetings than we ever could at the office. 😉
