Many company executives now regret their initial return-to-office plans, as 80% say they would have approached it differently if they understood employee preferences. While some firms are requiring more in-office time, citing collaboration needs, others are scaling back requirements due to retention issues. Successful companies like EY are listening to employees, addressing concerns over childcare and commuting, and seeing office attendance rise as a result. However, full office occupancy remains below pre-pandemic levels as hybrid work grows in popularity. It will take time for companies to settle on arrangements that satisfy both employees and management.
Hmmm how would you learn employees preferences… Hmmm extra furrowed brow
It’s so delicious to see this after so many months of endless RTO propaganda
Honestly, I’m so sick and tired of seeing pieces on how WFH affects productivity and scare journalism about employees slacking off during remote work. I hate that the discussion revolves around productivity metrics and not the fucking human who is expected to do ever more with less for the sake of ‘making number go up.’ As if that’s the way this is supposed to be, working 60 hours a week just to barely get by so Bezos can have his five-hundred-million dollar yacht that’s so big they have to dismantle a bridge so it can pass. Like that’s not a hint that maybe people shouldn’t have that much wealth to throw at a floating palace.
Maybe it’s a good thing the Earth’s heating up. Fever kills viruses.
I might have misunderstood what you’re trying to imply, but unfortunately the bulk of people going to be displaced and killed by this “fever” are not the ones causing it.
I believe the implication is that humanity does not deserve to continue on.
A whopping 80% of bosses regret their initial return-to-office decisions and say they would have approached their plans differently if they had a better understanding of what their employees wanted
In other words, 80% of executives / bosses are completely incapable of listening to their employees and are now shocked that things aren’t working out, when they were undoubtedly explicitly told this wouldn’t go the way they think it will.
Ah well, time to blame the plebs, cut their pay and benefits, and give the execs a raise so they can confidently execute a new disaster.
No, they knew exactly what employees wanted. They just didn’t expect them to actually leave over it.
Using the unused office will not “recoup” any costs, the money’s gone. You’re just paying for heat lights and AC in addition to increasing employee turnover, especially on the ones with easily markettable skills - often those you would most struggle to replace
