Why does anyone have to cater to Person A? Frankly if people can work where they want to work that’s fine, but you’re saying that because one person wants to be in office their entire team does too?
- paulcole 2y agoBelieve it or not, that’s not at all what I’m saying. Let’s say Person A wants to be in the office with other people also in that office. Then Person B wants to work in their home and doesn’t care where other people work. If Person B gets their way (thru remote work) then Person A is dissatisfied. If Person A gets their way (thru companywide RTO) then Person B is dissatisfied. My point is Why should anyone have to cater to either Person B or Person A? Whichever choice a company makes, someone is going to be dissatisfied. There are no right or wrong choices here, just choices. The employees have choices, too. They can get new jobs or they can deal with a situation they find dissatisfying in some way.
- no_wizard 2y agoThis is more reasonable, and I agree with it. I think people should be able to work where they are most productive, assuming the work can reasonably accommodate such things, and business process and culture should adapt / grow accordingly. If a bunch of people really want to work in an office together, go ahead. Want to work from home? go ahead. Want to work hybrid? Have at it. The problem is, business culture hates worker flexibility, but sure loves executive flexibility.
