Rather than focusing on how to get people back in the office, the execs already know the things they should work on: > How do you build a compelling culture remotely? > the majority of people seem to want to be remote when we survey them. But are they as engaged? Will they stay? ... how sustainable is that? > How do you make those people [out of state] still feel like they are part of everything? > Are people working as hard? > there’s still just a lot of empty space right now. When I’m in the office, there’s not a lot of people. > I recently attended an in-person meeting and I loved it. It was great. There are still things that are fun to talk about in-person and we were doing a lot of brainstorming. The time went by like that, and on a Zoom call, it just doesn’t. Q: did the other people like it, or did they wish they were at home on a Zoom call and that the meeting was dragging on and should have been shorter? > But I can’t get away from the inescapable reality that there’s still a hit to productivity. It was so scary the first six months of the pandemic and everybody just wanted to keep their job. Now, people are multitasking too much. Seems this could be measured, and if it's just a problem for the exec internally and not an "inescapable reality", he needs to get over it. If productivity hasn't taken a hit, "people are not multitasking too much": they are able to do the same amount of work more efficiently away from the office, and that allows them to do more other things that may not be work related. > [On working 4 days vs 5:] We’re not even in a space where you tell me you are just so good and efficient at your job, and you’re willing to work longer days for four days to have a fifth day off. That’s not the situation. I can keep my mind open to that. In other words, if a smart worker can get their work done in 4 days, the exec expects them to do 25% more work without extra pay. > Boundaries are being tested all over the place... the workplace was probably out of whack and companies did have too much power... There’s a level of distrust that employees have for their organizations, almost like an old dated image of like fat cats sitting around counting their money I don't think it's dated considering that the gap between executive compensation and average worker compensation has only increased: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/07/us-wage-gap-ceos-workers-institute-for-policy-studies-report https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/07/us-wage-gap-...
