Current Events > Remote workers, when was the last time you had to go into the office?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Two weeks ago I had to go into update my laptop to Windows 11. Today I have to go in to meet up with a voluntary benefits counselor. I have to do this every year and I always decline it. The meeting takes one minute too. What a waste of time.

once a month, still feels a bit too much.

February I think.

thats nuts. how do they push any other update to your computer

Year or so ago I think? It's been a minute, but was same, to get a new Windows 11 laptop.

A month ago when I flew to Colorado for a week for work.

My husband goes once a quarter for an exec meeting. They pay for a hotel for the night and usually theres a pretty fancy dinner.

Our infrastructure team couldn't figure it out how to do it remotely with Windows 11. It went from 10 to 11. It wasn't a normal windows update

yeah. thats nuts. we did it remotely fairly easily in most cases

We're behind schedule. My meeting with the person was supposed to be at 1:30PM but at this slow rate I won't meet with her until 2:30 or even 3. This sucks. I wanna meet with her and gtfo of here

One day a week, but sometimes skipping a week.

Back before the orange tyrant, it was once a week.

We have activities every other month, but were never obligated to go. That said, my iffice is literally 5 mins away so I just go when Im feeling....too lonely >__>

Two and a half years ago, I had to fly to St. Louis for an onsite meeting. My employer did the whole "Return to Office" thing, but I live near the company HQ, which is at capacity, and since my team is technically located in St. Louis, I never got assigned a desk.

Either late 2020 or early 2021.

We have to go in the office 3 times per week as of last month unless we have night work to do or we're on call.

Supposed to be in the office twice a week unless I am onsite somewhere, so Im not sure I qualify

We use macs, so didn't have to update. I did go into the office however on Thursday. First time since probably Feb 2023. It was our 10 year, 1000 clinical trials study celebration. It was nice seeing everyone. Hugged my supervisor, my supervisor's leader, my IT guy and more. The company I work for is very, very nice and I actually do wish I lived nearby so I could go in more. I don't drink but they even have a beer tap and wine to drink on the job, lmao. They had only a chess board last time I was there. They now have a pingpong table and darts as well. They take great care of us.

I go a week every other year

'Once a quarter' was the idea when I started but have only gone once this year. Did another trip to another site though. I'm fine going for a week every couple of months, it's a week of mostly doing nothing and eating good food for free. Hell no I am never moving back though.

last quarter before my paternity leave. we have quarterly summits on-site.

I dont remember when it was, but when I got a new laptop. Before that, it was because I had to print a 30 page form, scan it, and send it back, and thanks just way easier at the office.

havent been to the office since pre-covid. hell, they sold our office building lol. Im fully remote

Hybrid, so yesterday.
