“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.
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.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Throw these fuckers into a damn wood chipper so we can be free of this shit.
