BS is still 3 days a week for flex employees. I wonder if our management has discussed how happy employees impact productivity vs how to squeeze the last enjoyment from their workers. Seems to be working pretty well across the street. My guess is the sole focus has been how offshoring jobs is cheaper than investing in R & D. GLTA

In a good economy, this place didn't take care of the employees. What makes you think in the bad they will? They provide nothing but gas lighting.
@qn Well we are in a recession and a employer market, so it’s hard to jump when every company is doing the same cr-p. It’s crazy how backwards the US is on employee rights compared to the Europe folks. Layoffs should be taken from executive pay before the company as it’s a failure of leadership but instead they do this and say AI so they please the stock holders.
@k7 quiet firing? I really don’t see anybody quitting over this. I guess we’ll see in September, but I really don’t think RTO is going to cause an impactful number of people leaving the company.
I see a lot of people upset, and will cause them to start looking elsewhere, but come Sept 2, I wouldn’t predict an appreciable about of resignations are submitted.
This is also just a classic example of companies conducting "quiet firing" -- make conditions so unbearable/unreasonable for employees so they will quit on their own and save costs on severance packages. Medtronic will play whatever dirty cards they can under GM
Boston robotics group . We start to see people leaving but management used other reasons to cover leaving due to RTO
Well, our management would probably take note if there was a mass exodus of talent to BSC, however (at least from my vantage point) we’re not seeing much, if any, turnover of top performers.
Small sample size, but last (engineering) role I was involved with interviews with we had 2 qualified candidates from BSC who advanced to onsite interviews. Ended up hiring a candidate from 3M.
This ain’t the job-seekers market we saw during covid, it’s thin for those looking for a new role.
Offshore ? They will find out cheap is expensive. Of course, "they" will have cashed out by then and the remaining ones will be the ones to find out. Preaching to the choir, I know. Examples all over the marketplace already.
