Maybe they should have, because people were complaining about mandatory office work for no benefit for years, especially when open office plans, and most businesses ignored it entirely until a pandemic forced them to actually evaluate it.
Most people would rather have a choice. Being told that you will be fired unless you bring your company laptop into a loud office and do work uncomfortably that you'd do more effectively and efficiently at home was insulting. You knew there was no benefit for you, the pandemic proved that, and then forced RTO regardless of all evidence and data that your own company published showing no loss in efficiency just makes you lose all trust in management.
- asynchronous 3y agoI think that’s the thing that’s most frustrating, is all the emails and published metrics about “great job being even more productive during the pandemic!” And then in the exact same breath saying “and you’re all coming back to the office.” Like, if the former isn’t true then don’t lie to us, say we were less efficient.
