I understand the sentiment (I also now enjoy doing WFH, even though it took me a while to get used to it), but this post comes off as whiny and entitled.
A C-level executive making some sort of change without any good reason always sucks, but one should really know better than to call the CEO of one's previous company an asshole in public. It's unprofessional and will reflect badly on you.
Plus, the advice about never taking an ultimatum is... weird. The author doesn't even seem to notice the apparent contradiction between stating this and them later commenting on immigrants not being able to be as picky.
- kortex 3y agoGoing from hybrid - pre-covid, and hiring as such - to 100% onsite is an asshole move and should be called out as such. > apparent contradiction I don't understand what you mean. Where's the contradiction? OP saying "never take an ultimatum" isn't absolute - there's an implied "in your best interest" there. If a cop tells you "freeze or I'll shoot!" do you ignore that ultimatum? Of course not, context matters. Obviously an H1B trying to support a family is going to most likely choose to comply with the ultimatum in the best interest of their quality of life. It's just unfortunate they have far less negotiation room.
- Tainnor 3y agoNo, changing a work policy isn't an "asshole move", no matter how much you like it or not. If you want to prevent that sort of thing, unionise. But usually, tech workers have an easy enough time finding a different job. There's enough other things that tech companies do that are morally wrong, such as exploiting all our data or manipulate us through dark patterns. This is not one of them.
