Some bosses are tying bonuses to getting people back into the office. But with "work from home" the most searched-for term on job websites, the push-and-pull is a source of contention.
“But corporates who are seeing maybe an average of one to two days a week in the office, they are really wanting to drive higher occupancy rates, because they see the benefits of collaboration, innovation. That kind of comes from people face-to-face in the office”.
The other element — mentioned by everyone from CEOs and executives to human resources leaders and academics — is about the mentorship and training of younger staff.
“That,” Mr Broderick notes, "is really hard to replicate from home”
for real, I would much rather have my entire staff in places they feel the most comfortable. home, smaller office or, what would be cool af is a social hub, Kinda like the capital one cafes, just without the credit card theme.
only the boomers consider face to face important. im only 35 and i just found a job that where im the oldest. and its the most refreshing work experience in my life. everyone treats each other better, there is dialogue that results in action, i asked for a work comp in the back because traveling back and forth from the garage to the race kiosk was a little tedious. i was handed a new computer for the workshop in like 3 days.
my boss is 22 and our General manager is my age. absolutely no toxicity, no boomer ideologies. it really has been a mental boost of fresh air. Then my other job is a buncha mean nasty older fucks 50+ who are upset with the world because they believe fox news.
Yeah I read a story on Reddit from one employee of a giant company that had a “all hands on deck” mandatory meeting about working from the office…and the mega CEO was in a videocall instead of being in person for this meeting
Yeah upper management at our work is. That’s pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to “encourage” staff to come in 3 days a week.
As a junior member at my work, this is actually a legitimate reason. Being in person is a way better environment to learn in. And work in to some degree (for me).
Still, I don’t think it’s worth going back to the office as a mandatory thing. It’s too inflexible for people with families, or if you don’t live that close to the city.

Is anyone actually swallowing this tripe?

The more it’s jammed down my throat the sweeter that succulent nectar of conditioning gets!
Mmm mmmm!!
Bet he works from home though.

I don’t think they’re wrong that it’s easier to train people in-person, it’s just not worth the cost of going back into the office
