Would like to hear opinions of people who are actually CEOs or leaders of large orgs today.
I think it’s a generational thing and that the next Google or Apple when it arrives will be fully remote and that will be one of its differentiating advantages as an employer. It will show that things can be done differently and then set the direction for other employers of that time. Until then, the current mentality of “you can only be productive when you are in person” will prevail.
Everything just worked magically during the pandemic. Once it was gone it don’t work. It doesn’t really sound logical.
- jayd16 3y agoWhat makes you say it worked magically? It worked enough as the only option but it was also a time of massive overspend and then massive layoffs. Remote work is fine and some people like it a lot but I think if we're being honest the jury is still out on what the value is to the business.
- ghaff 3y agoYou also have to take into account something that should have been more noted at the time. Pretty much no executive in June 2020 was going to say "If we can't get people back into an office in three months we are so totally screwed as a business!" Of course, they had an incentive to say everything's fine--even better than fine.
