Try telling that to management. Even if you put the undisputable facts and statistics of how successful it's been in recent trials (the UK one for example was an overwhelming success) they still come up with excuses. "Clients wont accept it", "We'll get less work done", "It wont work for us", "We'll look at it in the future".
They'll never learn. And for any manager reading this, no, there is absolutely nothing special about your individual situation that means it wont work for you. Stop lying to yourself and your staff.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoMy company piloted a four day work week last summer. Two whole months of four day weeks. They gathered the data. They saw productivity was good. Then they didn't adopt it full time It makes my blood boil thinking about it.
- Viliam1234 4y agoJust reading this makes me want to scream. It is similar with remote work. During covid it suddenly became possible. Productivity sometimes even increased, because people had fewer sick days (in open spaces viruses spread like wildfire). Now that covid is practically over, many companies are pushing people to return to the office. It does not matter if the team is international, so everyone only sees their colleagues on the screen. It is important for that screen to be located in the office, not at the place you choose. Yes, life could be better, but it is not, for reasons that mostly do not make sense.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoIt's a consequence of that saying .. you know "it's impossible to get a man to believe something if their own well being requires them to believe the opposite" I think it's also just plain un-critical thinking, and ego. "The stats show one thing but I think that clearly cannot be true so I'm going to ignore them"
