  Even when presented with the numbers they don’t care. Management told us, going from 2 days in the office to full WFH increased our productivity by 15%, they’re still forced to make us go back 3 days a week (so now than before COVID) and they told us “We know productivity will be lower, but collaboration and shit”…

    When IBM senior management was asked by a staff member for data supporting their RTO policy one of the managers literally said, “I’ve managed teams before. I don’t need data.”

  Shit people can use.

  Sounds like people could use unions.

  Your statement is very absolutist therefore it cannot be true.

  Personally I did WFH for 4 years as a contractor and now I am back to office, but not always for forced to be in only 50% and I much prefer it, to the extent that I am doing more than 50% in the office.

  I still have the option to just not go in if I don’t feel like it, I am a bit under the weather or just haven’t slept well or have stuff to take care of and I don’t go in on fridays because traffic coming out of the city those days is horrendous.

  I would probably quit if I had to dogmatically go in everyday no matter what.

        it wasn’t a dunk, really…i merely pointed out the irony of condemning “absolutist statement”…in the form of an absolute statement, which i think is pretty funny!

        you said “cannot be true”, which, you know, is an absolute! ;)
