- xienze 4y agoWell, they weren’t lying. No one will be returning to that office, after all.
- waboremo 4y agoWhat's that saying, only a sith deals in absolutes?
- lolinder 4y agoWhich has always been a rather ironic line lacking in self-awareness.
- judge2020 4y agoI imagine this is the case in most places: recruiters and managers are so far down in the chain that they can't be given information before the rest of the workforce, so they might legitimately not know whether or not a return-to-office plan is in action.
- qbasic_forever 4y ago"Oh great! Well if there's no way you'd do a RTO then we shouldn't have any problem writing remote only into my employment contract! I've just sent over the document with this change. Let's sign it, I'm ready to get to work!"
- walrus01 4y agoIsn't it amazing what kind of actual blunt answer about somebody's intentions you can get back from people when you send them back a copy of their file with MS Word "Track Changes" enabled and marked up in color, and ask them to approve it before becoming an executed agreement?
- rubidium 4y agoWon’t matter in US. At will.
- skipkey 4y agoSure it does. It means they have two options. Let you stay remote, or fire you, but not “for cause” so you still can file unemployment. Otherwise you won’t be able to file.
- kcplate 4y agoIf a company was truly worried about paying unemployment, they would never bake that into an employment contract. If they aren’t worried about paying unemployment and they want you to RTO, it doesn’t matter what your contract says about your location. That is a basically a feel good for you, it would mean literally nothing to the company.
