To end remote work, just grandfather the existing people and roles with remote work and no longer offer remote work in future roles.
Then as the Bob's say it just works itself out.
The employers hold the cards because they pay the money and workers who need money and are willing to work in an office are basically the scabs of the remote work union.
Remote workers have no power until they can get everyone to agree not to work in an office
- givemeethekeys 3y agoFortunately, there are other employers who do want remote workers and will be happy to take them from employers who don't want them. When bad decisions are made, the best people leave first.
- rs999gti 3y ago> When bad decisions are made, the best people leave first. We don't know if it is a bad decision yet. It has not played out long enough to affect other parts of the economy or other businesses. So far all we know is some people benefit from remote work and commerical real estate and local business within are being affected
- givemeethekeys 3y ago> We don't know if it is a bad decision yet I agree that in the bigger picture things are still playing out, but if the best performing engineers are working remotely, then mandating that they come back onsite is a bad decision from their point of view. It might be good for the company, but the conflict of interest will result in them leaving.
- MrScruff 3y agoThe problem with this is that in my organisation at least I see a reasonable anti-correlation between perceived value of team member and resistance to using the office. YMMV of course, but the point is it ain’t as simple as ‘the people the business values will leave without fully remote’.
- gumballindie 3y agoDepends on how performance is measured. If performance is measured by talk and politics then those on site may be perceived as more valuable.
- mathgeek 3y agoThis ignores that employers compete with other employers. It’s not as simple as employers vs employees. There are also plenty of companies in smaller regions enjoying being able to hire remotely over being limited to their local pool of candidates.
- gumballindie 3y agoWorkers hold significant moat. Google, and facebook already enjoy a noticeable drop in product quality. By spooking experienced engineers their products will further regress.
