Changes to WFH

Has anyone heard if the IT “trial run” of working from home full time is influencing changes to the policy so that all office workers can be remote?

Talking among my friends, most of us work maybe 30% of the time. But with all the company tracking, we spend a lot of time “looking busy” {there’s macros you can use on your work computer} while using personal devices for fun.

Most of us are pretty unhappy with the direction we’ve taken and this is payback.

Yea it’s a real thing, Dominic said this a few days ago during the fireside chat, it’s posted on the mark. Given the intense attrition in IT, we had to roll this out to stem the flow. P66 did something similar to a much smaller effect, a whopping ONE day wfh for only IT, Finance, and Marketing.

The first reply by 'Karl' goes to one of the recent posts about Coasting at work. I think we could reduce significantly the red tape corporateness at this company and cut A LOT of positions if we had to. I have been saying for years, since first layoffs in 2015/16 that they should zero base our function and rebuild our functional charter from ground zero. Instead, we keep doing things bcz they have always been done that way instead of justifying how it adds value to the business

COP will never be a work from home company. There has to be trust and competence to achieve such a thing.
Neither exists at this place.

Stay at home and collect welfare. We only need about 20% of the people we have in the office since 20% do 80% of the work. The remaining 20% of the work will disappear as busy work. As Dino once famously stated, “ now that we have less people asking questions, we need less people to answer them.” Stay home all you want. The Squad has your back.
