Leadership couldn’t care less if you work at home or not, they know the majority of us are productive. What they care about is the tax breaks they receive from cities/states for agreeing to put X number of people into municipal areas where you will spend your money on food, gas, transit, etc.. Your local government wants you to spend your money locally to keep businesses afloat and the economy running, and companies like Elevance Hellth get tax breaks when they meet a certain number of badge swipes.
If you’re a poor performer and they want to get rid of you, they will go beyond your badge and check your network history in the office and use that as an excuse to can you.
We’re well above the threshold to receive the highest tax breaks at all major cities, so they can begin firing and rebadging without losing out on the tax breaks. They don’t want you to know this because they don’t want you to have a choice where you spend your money. They want to force you in to save a buck on your own tax payer dime. Have ANY of your taxes gone up lately? Think home, auto, dining, grocery, etc.. Yeah, that’s because companies like Elevance Hellth are playing the system. You get double sc--wed. Now what will you do with this information?
