Here’s something I don’t understand: Companies across the board the board seem to think they have every right to decide how to structure their employees lives.

Here’s something I don’t understand: Companies across the board the board seem to think they have every right to decide how to structure their employees lives. And almost universally they make a big show about listening to their employees and then afterwards show they don’t care one whit by demonstrating through their actions they either didn’t listen or don’t care. Then they rub salt in the wound with their carefully crafted corporate-speak press releases. For any industry based on knowledge work, this behavior is just about as unprofessional as one can be; it’s insulting to their workforce and breeds malcontent. On the other hand you have workplaces where honesty is both valued and respected on each side of the employer/employee divide. I suspect we hear little about such companies, and they keep on running. When might the big dishonest companies realize the dishonesty is at the core of not just the WFH problem, but nearly all of the problems they face? Is it even possible?
