Why can’t “employees like it” ever count for anything?

Why can’t “employees like it” ever count for anything?
- senttoschool 3y agoBecause if you give employees exactly what they "like", then they'll eventually want to be paid without doing any work. And if you give companies exactly what they want, then they'll eventually want talented people to work for them for free. So the two groups meet in the middle usually - depending on how competitive the job market it.
- garbagecoder 3y agoI didn’t say “count for everything” and I’m not talking about running an HR department. The WSJ article posted here moments ago is really the first article ve seen posted here that isn’t just some CEO’s think piece on remote work and how it’s really bad for junior employees oh no! Let junior employees decide what they prefer. It wouldn’t be hard to simply put your money where your mouth is and pay differently for in person if it’s so much better and fire people remote if they don’t produce. If they do, there’s something else going on, but it’s not employee welfare or productivity in most cases.
