I feel genuinely bad for those that may need to go back due to RTO

CHP employee here. Yes, we are in office 5 days a week. It stinks! Yes, we have free parking, a gym, and a cafeteria all in campus which is great!

However, coming in to work in office is draining. From hearing what my coworkers' dogs did last night to how much my coworkers complained about traffic in the morning, it's a bit too much especially when I'm not one to gossip or be nosy about things.

Coworkers always complain that they are behind. Mainly because all they do is talk and gossip for hours! The work is not hard at all if we keep up. Also, all of our work is purely all online, but yet we go to work to waste time and not be productive at all.

I do want to move out and try a different agency, but the work is stress free for me and I do see room for promotions. Upper Management is super chill as well.

The main thing is that with all the talk of telework going away, I am gambling and staying with CHP for now until I get clear indication that telework is staying.

Venting over, thanks for listening!
