I don't have a problem with this. My office made this rule too, basically you chose hybrid, in person, or full remote. I went full remote. I don't have a desk at the office, but I'm not required to come in. When I go in there's hoteling offices, meaning I get an office to work, and theoretically if I went in for a week, I can leave my stuff there, but after that week, I take my stuff and go home.
4 days every two month is WAY too low to maintain an office for a person. Heck even 2 days a week is borderline. Companies want to reduce their floorplans, and that's reasonable if they allow full remote, as long as full remote means full remote. (not required to come in)
No, I have no problem with not maintaining an office for remote workers. But they are telling remote workers they can't be on site for more than 4 days in a span. That's the dumb part. It should have been 5 days, so that remote worker can get a whole working week at the company's office if they need it.
Oh I totally misunderstood/misread that. Sorry.
That's fucking dumb as shit, agreed. Then again that gives me an excuse to go home ASAP.
Oof I feel bad 😳
I barely go in to mine once a month, yet have my own desk and stuff
Don't worry as long as your company isn't making you worry about it. I just personally chose full remote, but the people who chose hybrid have probably done as you say or less. And even when they do come in for "Collaboration days", they sit with us in a conference room.
I'm not going to make it an issue, but you'd fit in at my company. Then again we haven't (And may never have) a mandatory RTO.
