Opinion | Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office.

Office space is leasing at a discount, making this a good time for employers to give workers individual offices, complete with desks and doors that close.

    Honestly this kind of attitude hurts workers way more than it helps them “well yeah I could get an extra $10k a year, but Bob over there might get $15k, so no deal.”

    And if your coworker wants to spend an extra hour in their car (even if it’s paid), that sounds like their problem, not yours

      No it’s about shared duties and having to complete more tasks because I live closer to the office. That’s not right. I could be listening to an audiobook or podcast if I had a long commute. Even play a game If I take a train or bus. In fact this kind of unequal treatment is part of the push for unions in certain environments in the first place.

          Either those that live further away work less non-commuting hours or get paid more. Either way that’s not going to go over well. Unions almost always equal things out, sometimes to a fault.
