Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation that would make a 32-hour workweek the standard in America

the whole 9-5 thing for lots of jobs is pretty outdated imo

These fucking boomers man. Still think that working at home equals fucking off. I've explained how not sitting in traffic is highly productive but the old habits die hard. As a cub I'd go in every Saturday whether I needed to or not. Fuck that now

Nobody has ever out worked the owner.

For focus work and productivity id say working at home is prob best. But on the flip side people are fucking insane when they say there are no downsides to it with regards to collaboration and such.

Especially for younger or junior folks who benefit from being around more experienced people etc

Trouble is convincing senior people THEY need to be in the office to hold other peoples hands. We have kids and other responsibilities and shit. I don't need a 2nd set at work.
Pay me to be a trainer and we'll talk. Until then, the interns can drown for all I care.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that what companies used to get for free as a bonus they now need to pay a premium for for the value.
Id add that the younger generation is so socially retarded they struggle to gain value from enforced socialization anyways.

Plus one on the socially retarded part. See also @HuskyBuck

one thing I would say is that I think most customer service depts should just go to 4 days or like 5 hours a day or something. They clearly don’t have the people to man any of this shit and keeping stuff open with no people is the worst

Work from home thing has burned out support people and managers more than anyone, I think.
For a lot of companies it's never going away though. Talent pool is just too big/accessible to give it up.
