Same. I still don't have a clear idea of how often i'll be expected to go in when asked to return...but i'm considering leaving if they want me there more than I'd like to be. It's ridiculous. You can't expect people to be happy about going back to the office after WFH for a year and a half.
I'm eligible for retirement and have proposed going back part-time... I'm simply not willing to go back to what I was doing pre-WFH and honestly can't see myself doing it. If my request is honored, I'll try it for a while and see how I like it. If my request is denied, then I SHOULD be willing to retire. I hope I have the nerve if it comes to that!
"While the President recognizes that individual subsidies to cover internet costs may be needed in the short term, he believes continually providing subsidies to cover the cost of overpriced internet service is not the right long-term solution for consumers or taxpayers," the fact sheet explains. "Americans pay too much for the internet – much more than people in many other countries – and the President is committed to working with Congress to find a solution to reduce internet prices for all Americans, increase adoption in both rural and urban areas, hold providers accountable, and save taxpayer money."
Yeah, the "radical pro-teleworker!!!" schtick a certain user keeps repeating is not helping to garner empathy for their argument.
Isn't 'teleworker' an outdated term anyway derived from terms such as telephone, teletype and telegraph? Up to date terminology would be remote worker or offsite worker.

The prefix "tele-" means "long-distance," so same-same...

Not exactly.
According to Merriam-Webster, "tele" is a greek word that means "far off."
For me personally, the perfect scenario is permanent WFH with quarterly visits to the home office just so people remember how pleasant I am to be around in person.
BTW, calling people who want to keep working from home "radical" is silly given that it seems to be the majority regardless of who you ask. I know it's just a ploy to reshape the narrative but ultimately it comes across as disingenuous and manipulative. It didn't work for Kelly Loeffler and it won't work here.
People who want to keep working from home are mostly non-radical, but there is a vocal minority that insist that offices are dead and that mandatory work from home is acceptable or even good ( despite indoor dining being open which is much higher risk.) You and many others here are not the people I am referring to. One or two here and a few in the media are quite radical .
