Visionless leaders crucifying employees for their strategic failures.
They are selling castrol, a beautifully relevant business to hold on to Travel centres of america.
It's happened. Trading & Shipping now 80/20 from March 2026. More to follow.
Then bring back 9/80. Stop fu--ing the employees 24/7 bp
It's really, really important to be in the office to collaborate with my team... who will now be in India, Malaysia & Hungary? That makes sense.
I asked this question to an svp in a townhall. She replied that there will be a focus on in-office presence and 80/20 is the ultimate goal. They are thinking about monitoring badge swipes to see how this goes....afterwards in the corridor, she said everyone wants 9/80 to come back, but the current executive/LT supported the change so they wont switch it back......what a sad state our leaders are.
It will be difficult to enforce across the board since the company is benefiting from salary arbitrage. The model would have to change for this to work.
Saying there’s no value to working in an office is clearly false. I had a chance encounter just yesterday that wouldn’t have happened remotely. But I do get more productive focused work done at home. Both have a place.
the "leaders" should focus on tangible things...like how about bP shedding 150,000,000,000 dollars of market cap in 20 years.
why commute to an office just to do Teams meetings with people in other states or countries? in many years of working in an office i cannot recall a single serendipitous encounter.
I’ve heard leaders talk about the “intangible” value of working in the office compared to home - things like networking, chance encounters, face-to-face collaboration, etc. But they also say it’s not measurable and they feel like it’s valuable to work in the office. Is there any data that proves this?
I would gladly do that if they reinstated 9/80s. They took those away and replaced it with the 60/40 model, saying this added flexibility was better. Now it could all be corporate BS of course but 80/20 with no off Fridays would be a significant erosion in free benefits.
An enforced 80/20 policy would change morale from near zero to negative.
I mean people don’t show up at the office anyway at all so this wouldn’t change anything.
This totally a right time to do it…
We are cost cutting your role, but before we forget you will not be able to work from home any more.
Hope so.
