Because it took 2 years to realize how poorly trained new staff and seniors are now. Everyone says work quality is down at the lower levels and the new associates just do whatever they want. I’m all for 2 days a week

like

It’s not because of remote work that quality is down at the lower levels. It was a downward trend that happened before covid. Going back to office won’t fix it.

like

Because they have no choice against these companies. There are good companies still out there that support remote/hybrid work like PwC.

It was eventually going to happen. I like hybrid flexibility but understand a push towards going back. Things like training/learning and networking have greater value in person. Maintaining a 70/30 split would be nice.

I don’t think my office even has the space for us to all come back. Many upper level directors and partners keep pushing for staff level/seniors to come in because it’s “better for their growth and getting the full experience “. We have some amazing seniors that do the best work and will not hesitate to promote them, so what exactly will forcing them into the office do besides have them put in their two week notice?

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
