I’m exhausted. The commute, the cost, five days in a seat for work that still happens on a laptop and on calls with people who aren’t even here.
Let’s stop pretending this is improving anything. It’s not driving better results, it’s just draining people. Then leadership turns around and wonders why effort drops.
People aren’t checking out for no reason. They’re burned out from a system that makes zero sense.
This isn’t better for employees, and it’s not better for the company.
Roll it back to hybrid and start measuring output instead of presence.
