Just curious what led management to decide full WFH is ok?

I recently had an “in person working meeting” that multiple people drove in for as well as someone flew in from another state for this 1 single 4 hour meeting.
We all sat on our laptops looking at a screen share in teams…
Couldn’t that have been a meeting where we didn’t spend money to fly someone across the country and put them up in a hotel for 2 nights?
Like other than going and eating lunch in the cafeteria after there was zero purpose to flying them in or making others drive 1.5/2 hours each way to join the two of us in office to stare at our laptops while someone shared their screen.
And we wonder why finances aren’t great?
I WFH for 10 years now and the biggest issue isn't my personal productivity, it's the absolutely insane and worthless processes we have to deal with from the top down..
The president of the united states works remote too.
Hum
Funny how that works.
Its the person..not the location that drives the work.
Most of us corporate employees stare at things on screens and discuss things that live on screens. If you need in-office presence to more effectively communicate things on screens you likely have some sort of an undiagnosed learning disability. Subsidizing this disorder (by means of corporate office leases) is a waste of shareholder EPS.
Because many have to go to office just to spend their day on teams calls, as the rest of their team is in a different location. So whats the point of coming to the office.
I haven't seen any announcements about it.
RTO - Return to Office
WFH - Work from Home
RTO served two purposes
Save commercial real estate from sinking the company.
Staff attrition via refusal to comply.
We're way past that point. The board is in charge.
What is RTO and WFM?
Because DJ is not as committed to forcing WFH as KL was. Especially not in the face of 30% bonus funding and low morale.
the do-nothing people will continue to do nothing
