Coffee Badging the new workplace

[Shenanigans]

I work with data. My company has mandated a return to work. All my work is done on a computer, but I have to be in the office 3 days a week. Working remotely has led to a lot of burnout in my field. I work way more hours with my work readily available all the time.

If I could go into the office and actually shut a door to focus, that would be excellent. I'd get the face time so I don't go full hermit and I'd be able to concentrate on work when needed. However, I'm constantly bombarded with noise and chit chat and people trying to take my favorite red stapler.

I travel for work and am gone for months at a time. I work with engineers that work from home and office. I will say some are good and some are just not. When I need help I need it now or could cast 100s of thousands. This includes sourcing people. I have my opinion on people working from home.

I found it funny they think this is something new.

I worked with lots of people back in the day that spent every morning around the coffee pot shooting the bull for an hour or so. You wouldn’t see them the rest of the day.
