as a scapegoat for bad firm performance,’ new research finds poor leadership
We need to call it as it is. If managers, owners, CEOs, and other leadership haven’t been able to make remote work positive and productive for their workers, then they can’t do their jobs and should be replaced.
FFS, it’s been nearly four years that remote work has been common place, and before that, companies were still using remote work with none of these problems.
Honestly this is peak feels and vibes based management. Buncha dipshits throwing all the data out the window because they’re lonely and want someone to lord it over.
I’ve been WFH since 2019 and in the last 2 months they’re trying to get me back in. I’ve had 3 different calls about it, each time it’s escalated to a higher manager.
The calls basically go the same way each time, they’d like me back in the office, I ask if I’m not meeting targets and in told I am. Next I ask if there is anything I’m doing wrong, there isn’t. They go on to say it’s for team morale, cohesion etc and I ask if there has been an complaints and I’m told no, I say I’m having no problems with everybody I need to communicate with. Then I say I don’t understand why I can’t continue WFH if there isn’t a problem as I’m saving about 10-15k a year in fuel & childcare. Then they just say they’re happy to leave it like it is…
I haven’t looked into it too hard but as an Aussie I think it’s gonna be pretty hard for them to force me back in
Funny they actually admitted it, when they wanted to bring me back into office in mid 2020 they just lied and said everyone wanted to come back but me. A quick off the record chat with my coworkers said otherwise.
