I hate studies that say "embrace flexibility".
As a manager, I understand that to mean "allow people to decide what works best for them; find ways to enable that and make it successful".
My team understands that to mean "I can decide what works best for me".
My boss, however, understands that to mean "mandate people be in 3 specific days, from specific hour to specific hour, but they can miss if they have a good reason, and they get two days to WFH"
This can only end well.
- tragictrash 5y agoI feel for you, I really like my manager, and he's fighting a losing battle. I guess fighting isn't the right word, its more like he's just there to take abuse from both sides. Reading this article was like reading a playbook of what my org's senior leadership team is doing. And yeah, I think it is going to end real well, for me. I was getting comfortable and this RTO plan is the kick in the pants I needed to start looking for a new employer. I really love my job, but I'm not coming back. Period. It boils down to this: let me go remote now, or let me go remote later with a salary match. Or don't, I don't care, I'm not coming back in.
