Some managers plan to penalize workers who don't want to return to the office
- jleyank 5y agoIf this is really the case, there's going to be some good people coming onto the market. In my experience, those of lesser skill (or at least lesser self-image) will stay and suck it up while the rest will go elsewhere. Weird stealth layoff.
- polka_haunts_us 5y agoKind of depends on the situation. I'm currently working in a situation where I've never set foot in the office, but am living where I do with the expectation I might have to someday since it's not a remote position on paper. I'd prefer a remote position on paper and if I had it I'd definitely be living somewhere else, but at this point in time my #1 concern is maximizing compensation vs cost of living. If my workplace introduced fulltime return to office, it wouldn't really change my calculus on how much I want to work for them. If my fellows did start leaving though, I'd start looking for concessions, because no one wants to be the idiot left holding the bag during a Brain Drain scenario.
- TheCoelacanth 5y ago> Just 23% of managers said they would allow employees to work remotely full time if a return-to-the office is mandated by their company. So 23% of managers said that they would defy their company policy to let employees continue to work remotely? That sounds much higher than I would expect.
