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

  All it will ultimately do is create a talent split. Companies willing to embrace WFH will be able to snap up talent and companies forcing RTO will start to flounder over time.

  My manager lives nearly 1000 miles from me. I have coworkers anywhere from the other side of the continent to the other side of the world.

  The fuck you want me in the office for? “Collaborative development”? Lol.

    I have never met my manager in person. Going on 15 yrs. He manages, I do the work. All remotely. Works just fine for technical knowledge work.

  … 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.
