It depends on your company, how big their campus, what kind of tax breaks the city or township afforded them. Theres a whole economy around people being in office. I also believe these measures are the first steps in thinning up the herd and leaning up an organization, so if anything you should be happy you still have a job.
I think it also depends on your value streams. If you're in a supposed agile environment, I don't think it makes sense to have everyone in the office five days a week. Developers need time to focus on their tasks and writing code. Most of the time when I am in the office, we're planning out our quarter, meeting with stakeholders, or doing cross-platform work. So being in the office makes sense for that. But too much of it drags down efficiency and ends up eating away at velocity. Also, if I'm in the office every day, I'm checking out after 5pm, so good luck asking me to do anything after hours.
I’m lucky now, it’s about half an hour. I had a 1+ hr commute and couldn’t take it so I moved
30 minutes isn't bad, I could probably handle that even if I don't want to.
Did you take AWS course?
Have you certified in this field with passing International examination?
I have not taken any courses yet, although I would like to, at least the basic Cloud Practitioner cert. I already know some which helps.
Not really, yet. Our company seems committed to a distributed workforce for the time being.
That's good, I think I'm in the same boat. 50% of our workforce is outside of the DC area. My boss lives in Dallas. I actually see us opening up a Dallas office instead of having a mandatory RTO for everyone, it wouldn't work.
