Lately, some of my friends have been forced to go back to work at their offices after working from home for the past few years.
Honestly, I feel pretty bad for them.
I’ve worked from home for years now and I don’t think I could ever commute and work in an office ever again.
According to a TikTokker named Morgan, there are a lot of negatives to workers returning to the office – and how much money it’s costing them is a big one.
Morgan talked to viewers about a Fortune article titled, “Employees are spending the equivalent of a month’s grocery bill on the return to the office—and growing more resentful than ever, new survey finds.”
Morgan cited the article:
“Executives have admitted they don’t have data to support going back to the office, but they’re still comfortable having you spend $561 a month on it. Usually, when we see a return office mandate, they talk about the culture. But here’s the thing. When you take away people’s flexibility and have them start spending more money on a commute, they end up more burned down, stressed.”
That’s a lot of money!

Another viewer thinks it’s a bad idea.
And one TikTokker shared their own story.
I have a feeling this story is going to resonate with a lot of people.
I doubt it will make a difference, though.
