This is a good thing. It will force some to venture out on their own where they will learn to stand on their own two feet. Or it will hold employees accountable

This is a good thing. It will force some to venture out on their own where they will learn to stand on their own two feet. Or it will hold employees accountable to the shareholders (owners of the company) to provide a collaborative, in-person, company culture which ultimately enhances productivity and efficiency. In short, Grow Up! (a message from a tech worker who has rarely worked from home and has reaped the benefits of in office work throughout the pandemic)

Absolute nonsense. First off, employees aren't directly accountable to shareholders. Nor should they be. Company boards are. Secondly, how about providing a collaborative, remote company culture which enhances productivity and efficency? Which also widens the global hiring pool and doesn't discriminate against those who can't travel for hours a day. For tech companies, forcing their workers in to metal tubes and high-rises for hours a day will never be as purvasive as it is now, and I hope it stays that way.

  "First off, employees aren't directly accountable to shareholders. Nor should they be. Company boards are." In the real world this statement is demonstrably false. Ask the majority of employees in the world, because if they aren't the owner they are working directly for the primary shareholder of the business.

>Or it will hold employees accountable to the shareholders (owners of the company) I own stock in my company, I don't want to go back to office. if you really care about coddling shareholders I suppose you're also in favor wage suppression, anti-union activity, corporate job cuts, and all the other anti-worker crap management & owners throw down. in short, grow up & realize a mindset like yours just holds the people who actually get stuff done back

  So you own part of the company but don't want to be as productive as possible. You would rather handicap your business by stifling communication. You are the shareholder buddy. Can you tell me the company name so I can divest in it?
