Scoop: Biden pushes to end remote work era for feds

75. There is value to working in an office

When you are isolated at home, you lose the ability to interact with, ask questions and learn from colleagues, not to mention the ability to socialize. And who is supposed to train new employees if everyone is working from home? I got really good at my job because I was able to get up, talk to people who had expertise in other areas of the supply system and learn how that affected my job.

I get that some people want to work from home because like the post up thread said, they've discovered that they can spend all day in pajamas, watch movies, walk the dog, play with the kids and work a couple hours a day. It's a good deal, 8 hours pay for a few hours work. Except sooner or later a business or the state/local/federal government is going to figure out maybe they don't need you and whatever work you're doing from home can be automated.

The bottom line is people cannot continue to be isolated from each other. It's bad for them and bad for the country. That's the reason to return to the office.
