I’ve got mixed emotions.
I don’t think most people abuse being home. And I do think there is a loss to culture and learning curve, especially for less senior people.
That said, if everyone isn’t in, it’s a waste of time for the most part. And it puts a financial burden on people who have to go in that is often not compensated vs the fully remote workers. And finally, we all managed for several years.
So until a proper balance is found on how to distribute it the burdens and benefits, it’s just going to be divisive.
Very well said Exec Creative Director I.
I’ve noticed a few comments suggesting that some directors or managers are skeptical when people say working from home is important to them.
I used to be firmly in the “everyone should be in the office” camp. But during COVID, when I started working from home, I realized something simple: I actually got more done.
What I’ve come to understand is that the issue usually isn’t the workers, it’s management. Too often, management isn’t really managing. They collect a paycheck, and mistake visibility for productivity. They feel a sense of control just by seeing someone sitting at a desk.
But that’s not managing performance. Whether someone works from home or in an office shouldn’t matter. What matters is whether the work is getting done, and that’s the manager’s responsibility to track, define, and enforce.
Remote work also removes unnecessary commute time and distractions, which often improves output.
The reality is, corporate loyalty isn’t what it used to be, on either side. So it makes sense that younger workers are pushing back on outdated expectations. If employers want results, they need to focus on accountability and outcomes, not just presence.
whatever they were hired to do, they weren’t hired to make decisions on remote work not, that’s Dimon’s job, and they weren’t hired to manage WFH, prior to the pandemic, what were their responsibilities? that’s their job, back then it didn’t involve managing WFH did it?
RN Paralegal 1 doesn’t even know how to reply to a thread, how can someone with that level of competence be trusted to work remotely without supervision
