Personally they kind of waived this mandate to FT RTO

By being 6 years into this.
Some were hired as hybrid, and yes I know a company can change their business model whenever they want, but it also breeds bad faith and discontent. Many people were hired as hybrid or having spent 6 yrs wfh have built up an at home office. This maneuver shows zero respect for employees this late in the game.
And I think if/when another situation arises it may not work so well by the powers that be making these life altering decisions.
I sure hope they are sympathetic to employees if they need to be working from home if their kids are sick, on school vacation, doctor appts that don’t lend themselves to driving in and back twice there MUST be some flexibility. Seems to me all “US” companies like the visa payroll better and we’re about to see the ugliest side of globalization we’ve ever experienced coupled with the AI job ki-ling revolution

Good times. 🥵

HAHAHA people invested in their home office? That's hilarious. I work from my camper in the mountains... Quit crying about it. Companies can do what they want. And so can you.

I don't believe the flexibility will be like it was before COVID. It will instead be like it is today -- except it will apply to every day in the office vs every other week.

I’m sure there will be flexibility just like there was before Covid, however saying you’ll miss wfh because you were taking care of your kids is part of the reason why companies are doing rto.

@aa The Matrix meets The Minority Report

to the question about whether or not there will be flexibility. It depends on how you look at it. Some managers may be more flexible than others, but even assuming you have a flexible manager it still comes down to whatever metrics HR is tracking, which they won't tell you. So at some point your manager no longer has a say if you make HR's naughty list. HR will tell you there is flexibility and there doesn't need to be 100% compliance and that they are looking for patterns of abuse. However they are purposely vague, and since you won't know what the definition of compliant is if you're worried of having your bonus impacted or getting put on a PIP you'll be more likely to not take advantage of the supposed "flexibility" out of fear. So it's up to you really how far you want to test it and hope for the best. What a wonderful company to work for.

@a4 worked. Sorry Apple modified

@a2 it wasn’t a party I’ve forked in Boston full time since I graduated college 10 years ago and I can unequivocally state my productivity at home is far greater than in office.

I hope the MBTA subsidy isn’t taken away, that would be insult to injury.
Meanwhile gasoline is $4.40 and rising. Great timing!

At covid our SVP verbatim said, we won't go back to office full-time ever again and they would likely close buildings. But things change

It's like investing in a ponzi and expecting never to lose money
At some point the party has to end
From your end, or theirs
