Been WFH for 11 years, but now…
manidontknowdamn | Reddit
Yep, my firm has announced mandatory RTO. My team has 10/16 who WFH and are no where near a firm office, so no RTO for them. If I were to RTO I would be the only person on this team/department in the office. No leadership, no subordinates, no directors etc in my “office” should I go into the office.
My boss is newer and I feel like she may be more by the book type. Should I change my address in my file and cross my fingers? Should I make my case as to why RTO for me is pointless?

Why I’m not worried about AI job loss
David Oks
I honestly don’t think that we’re going to see mass unemployment, or the sudden death of human cognitive labor, or anything that feels like an “avalanche.” The years to come will be weird, especially if you’re keeping abreast of the latest developments in AI. But the actual impacts of AI in the real world will be a lot slower and more uneven than people like Shumer seem to think. Human labor is not going away anytime soon. And whether or not they spend an hour a day using AI tools, ordinary people will be fine.
Sharing meals with others: How sharing meals supports happiness and social connections
Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, Andrew Dugan, Micah Kaats, Alberto Prati | The World Happiness Report
Sharing meals proves to be an exceptionally strong indicator of subjective wellbeing – on par with income and unemployment. Those who share more meals with others report significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and positive affect, and lower levels of negative affect. This is true across ages, genders, countries, cultures, and regions.
