The ongoing struggle between returning to the office and remote work continues to create tension within organizations. Companies like Amazon and Morgan Stanley are pushing for employees to return, while some staff at government entities vote to strike in favor of remote work rights. There's a widening gap of misunderstanding, with office workers perceiving remote staff as lacking dedication, and remote workers feeling disconnected from in-office leadership. Bridging this gap requires improved communication and potentially a shared glossary of work-related terms to foster understanding and cooperation between these distinct work cultures.
One possible explanation for the continued conflict is that we have become strangers to each other. Absence made the heart grow more suspicious: our office-based overlords think we WFHers have become an army of side-hustling slackers.
Perhaps if we spoke the same one, we would understand each other better... Could our WFH experiences enrich the linguistic landscape and give the office-based an insight into our lives?
