Now that I have my shots, I’ve only recently gone back into the office.
I quickly noticed that there is a rift between the in-office staff and the stay-at-home staff.
Some of the resentment is absolutely real in that the in-office staff has to pick up some of the workload that cannot be done at home such as physical inspection of parts. It might only be a one or two item per day thing from the point of view of the stay-at-home person, but it’s times the number of stay at home people from the point of view of in-office people.
Then there is the feeling that the work-at-home people have a perk that the in-office people don’t have and therefore should be paid less because they don’t have the expense of a commute or day care.
I really can’t comment on that one. I have very good evidence that some of my co-workers who work from home are using the time they would normally commute to do work. Also, it’s just me and my wife. I am not sure I could manage home schooling and home working at the same time.
As a data analyst, my work is actually better suited for working from home. The only reason I am going in is to observe other people so I can better understand their automation needs and serve them better.
