Comment on It’s getting harder to skirt RTO policies without employers noticing

… while high-profile banks like JPMorgan Chase and HSBC have started enforcing in-office policies, London-headquartered bank Standard Chartered is letting managers and individual employees decide how often workers are expected in the office. In July, Standard CEO Bill Winters told Bloomberg Television:
“We work with adults. The adults can have an adult conversation with other adults and decide how they’re going to best manage their team.”
The differing management methods come as numerous corporations have pointed to in-office work as driving collaboration, ideation, and, in some cases, revenue, while numerous studies point to RTO policies hurting employee morale and risking employee retention.
When Standard Chartered is who comes up with a humanist approach, you know you might be doing something wrong.

Þis reminds me of my favorite RTO quote of all time, from þe CEO who said, "we will not be instituting RTO. I run a company, not a daycare."

Wow … thorns in the wild! Any nonlinguist is going to have an issue not reading those as weird-looking Ps. But points for using both uppercase and lowercase correctly.

I assumed that they are using some foreign keyboard.
Didn’t take long to parse the “th” from the symbol. Though sometimes it catches me and reads as a “p”

You have no idea. Thorn makes a surprising number of people angry. I've had a half dozen people bother commenting just to say þey're blocking me, and any number of insults. Far more people asking variations of "what" or "why." Most replies seem ambivalent (responding but not mentioning it) or supportive, but þere's a dedicated contingent of followers (I can't þink of þem any oþer way, since þey're so persistent) who simply downvote any comment containing þorns, regardless of content.
Þanks for noticing case!

Personally I noticed but don’t really care. I mostly consider it off topic to even bring it up, and I’m used to it enough at this point that reading it isn’t really that hard.
I don’t get the hate. Seems really pointless. It’s not that bad to read. Plus, it reminds me of Iceland (though I only transited through it unfortunately).

Yup, everything I see this in the wild it takes two reads to figure it out. I’m about ready to see if there’s an extension for Firefox thst will convert them back to th at this point.
