“Many companies are realizing they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making big, bold, very controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data,”
Same as it ever was. They're sad that people are telling them they're the dumbfucks they are, but it won't change how the operate. Period.
They like having little feifdoms where they have complete control, and the only reason they're upset with the Return-to-Office foibles is because they didn't realize they didn't actually own their employees, and their employees are totally able to fuck off to greener pastures. It's not about the employees, as usual. It's about losing employees who didn't put up with their bullying antics for the first time in fifty fucking years. They don't like it when people have options and can't be under their thumb. That's why these chucklefucks have sad faces.
Fucking sociopaths, every one.
good news - it's possible to fight back without leaving your current job. if you band together with your coworkers and bargain collectively, the petty tyrants won't have a choice but to accede to your demands - we don't need them but their companies will crumble without us. the reason they've gotten away with it for 50 years is because unions got gutted but it's high time for a change. you can make the difference at your workplace!
But organize with the IWW so you don't end up with one of those business unions that end up signing a "no strike" clause.
but having a petty tyrant make all the decisions is supposed to be the most efficient system ever
and say they would have approached their plans differently if they had a better understanding of what their employees wanted...
😂😂😂😂 Yeah, because they really care about what employees wanted. /s
More like productivity went up when people WFH, and having them back in the office dropped productivity back to where they were before the pandemic.
Lower productivity means lower profits. These bosses suck at their job 😂

Not to mention the most talented employees left their in-office jobs for different fully remote ones.
Just give them a child care. What could it cost? $800 a year?
More like $10,000 per year.

(That's the gag. The article talks about an annual $800 travel/child care/wellness allowance like it's the solution to this non-problem.)
While certainly better than nothing, that wouldn’t cover a month of child care for us so going back to the office is not an option for me. The good news is that my company doesn’t even have an office in my state but I did hear they want people near their locations to start going in a few days a week. I never thought my company would be one of “those” types of organizations but alas they all are.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThrow these fuckers into a damn wood chipper so we can be free of this shit.
the average manager/boss is so inculcated with "job creator" brain worms in the US, they believe they, as benevolent nobles, are the ones generating value in the organization while their underlings extract value as salary/wages. it leads to shit like this where bosses are baffled they can't actually get everything they want by snapping their fingers, even though they control the immediate material access to housing, healthcare, etc.
as it turns out, workers are the critical resource because they make it all go. the execs are the ones extracting massive value as salary/benefits or stock manipulation, while realistically only going to meetings to strategize ways to get more value out of workers without sharing any increases. workers are paying managers to boss them around all day and act important.
They probably do as it hurts their bottom line and productivity, but they will repeat the same mistake over and over again because it's just not in their nature to listen to workers.
Even six months ago, companies were willing to eat these costs in a tight labor market to recruit and retain talent. But now, "Some companies are getting impatient, and want to recoup these large investments," Kacher explains.
In New York City, office space costs, on average, about $16,000 a year per employee, the New York Times reports.
But, and here's my big issue with that, that $16,000 a year per employee is the same cost whether the employee is there or not. You're not saving money by demanding the employee occupy your already-leased dead space in the daytime. You're not even preventing the loss of money. It's the same cost (minus a bit for heating etc) whether a given employee is at the office, at home, commuting, sleeping, or attending an interview at a job where people know this.
Suggesting the location of someone's ass is somehow related to rent you already have to pay ... is just stupid.
its good folks! More and more people are saying it
