“If you don’t like it, then leave” what a great way to build morale and culture

Hearing the same message at my work. Employers are cracking down

Having been through these types of conversations, I am guessing they tried every single way to be nice about it

Too many companies are getting burned by people abusing work from home.

In my case, work from home answered less phone calls, sold less,

Here is my thing, is it abusing it if work is getting done on time?

It doesn't. But that wasn't my experience. And your assessment of your work

JAGA97

And what does, "I get all my work done" even mean?

CSoul

Oct 18, 11:03am

This idea that, "my work is being done on time" makes no sense. What white collar jobs do you have that are just

I think there are jobs that fit a WFH or Hybrid work and some definitely don't.

You are still building your own work. I've worked in almost every department in my company. You choose

No, none of these companies have any evidence.

I'm joking of course. Of course they have evidence. There is a LOT of it out there.

Maybe amazon has that data, I just think there is self interest . seems IMO to be more a reason to cut without firing

Wut? Of course it's self interest. To be a better company. That's all they SHOULD care about.

And I would say even if that were their plan, they have every right to do it. And all their employees have the right to

As a WFH advocate, I’d be shocked if the data says there’s no difference

I laugh because my company makes you 'book/checkout/reserve' a desk each mandatory day in the office..

They’re not doing it to build morale or culture. They’re doing it to cut headcount without having to pay severances
