I find it amazing that you think you can decide for someone about a health issue citing that face to face is just a “reality” to people who have been doing their jobs for 18 months effectively from home. Managers think they own people. They don’t and good luck to anyone on “your” team, as if it ever was. What exactly is the work-related task you can’t do except face to face? The insecurity is really coming out here with middle managers. You don’t pay the salary. You are an employee too. Middle management is a dying breed. Problem is the future is here 20 years early. Good luck with retention.
- simonswords82 5y agoYou clearly had a bad experience with managers, sorry to hear that. So did I before I started my businesses over 15 years ago. The people I employ are on "my" team just as I am on "their" team. It's not a question of ownership. I decided to set us up as a work from anywhere business at the start of the pandemic because that's best for my team and for the business overall. Having said that I still need face to face meetings from time to time, as do our clients... notwithstanding I'll always consider the impact of those requests on my individual team members. I have no issues with retention and my employee NPS scores are consistently over 50 percent.
