If I was a sadist and a FAANG manager (and I am neither), I think I'd just say something to the effect of "in-office attendance is not mandatory, but it is a potential factor in determining promotions" and watch what ensues.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoRegardless of what a manager says, the evidence is pretty clear that remote workers are less likely to be promoted (just google "remote workers are less likely to be promoted" for a bunch of studies and articles), and I think most workers are aware of that.
- bugglebeetle 3y ago…at companies demanding WFO. I just got a promotion at my all remote company. We have two offices that people are free to work from, but people only do occasionally or when they need to meet clients etc who are in town.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoSure, if your company is all remote, it would seem self evident that you're not at a disadvantage (in your company in any case) compared to in-office workers, because there aren't any in-office workers.
- iaseiadit 3y agoThat’s exactly what they’ve come out and said: attendance will factor into annual ratings, and remote workers will be ineligible for stepping into management roles going forward
- underlipton 3y agoWell... Do workers WANT to be promoted? If you're not dealing with an "up or out" situation, and you're making enough to sustain a lifestyle in Not The Bay Area, do you care? How many stories are there of people who took management positions that they hate because it was the only promotion available, only to find that the extra income didn't make up for the increased stress?
