In my experience, when people work from home (during their designated time of working), theyre unreachable. I call them, text them, or teams message them, and they dont respond until much later.

Its extremely obvious why people want to work from home, because newsflash theyre not actually working, but rather doing other shit.

I'm personally very quick to respond unless I'm in the bathroom or sth

This.

I get more work done WFH than I do on the day I have to go into the office, because the office has way more annoying distractions.

As upper management, I also hate it. How am I to know if they're doing things I don't approve of on their breaks? They could be voting for women's rights or treating trans people as human beings for all I know.

I dont have control over their work. But I have let their managers subtly know, via cc-ing them and stuff. Its ridiculous. Its always the same type of people, those who work in procurement, contracts, or IT.

Nowadays people arent available in the workplace either. Stores, offices, restaurants, they just dont answer the phones.

Its literally not this. I cant get my work done efficiently because of this shit. For example, Ive burned five weeks with contracts and procurement to pay a vendor $23k, because these fuckers just arent responsive when theyre working from home 3 of the 5 days. When theyre in the office, it moved along; not when theyre home.

Not mine. It's very tepid here.

Then again I can't work from home at all due to the nature of my job. Wish this was a hybrid position just because of the drive.

I much prefer working from home, but it's annoying that people on the internet won't even acknowledge the drawbacks of it. A lot of information gets shared in passing. And if you're interested in building your career, it's much easier to build your network in person.

I'm not interested in building my career anymore and I hate networking, but I can definitely see how working in the office is better for those who want to get ahead.

Admittedly I am AWFUL WFH candidate.

I really can't control myself when I'm at home because I lack a good home office setting.

No. Dude is just trying to get his work done and it's often dependent on others.

This is an issue with the employee, not the wfh policy. In my company, the ones that are shit at responding while wfh were just as shit at responding when in office. Many emails/phone calls/voicemails of mine have been ignored and I'd have to stalk their desk so I could face to face with them.

Bring it up with their manager and yours, make sure they are aware of the timeline, then stop worrying about it so much. Yeah it sucks you had to pay a vendor an extra $23k but that isn't your problem or your money. When management comes breathing down your neck, you simply tell them you were blocked by x person and that you attempted x amount of times to get a reposnse from them and their manager. You did all you could so it's not your fault the contracts lapsed, it's those employees.

Yup almost all of my work is dependent on others.
