A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
Every single one of my jobs in the last 5 years or so has stated that remote work has undeniably increased productivity and output, as well as general morale.
Many of them have sold all their offices so they couldn't even RTO if they wanted to.
For some reason one of them still keeps the 7 floor office building and even a receptionist and security guard...despite about 5 people working from there on any given day. But hey, whatever.
Lots of leases are for 7-10 years, sometimes more. They're likely contractually obligated to keep it for now. The sunk cost on that is at least part of the reason why RTO was being pushed so hard.
Tons of office leases have expired since lockdown times and weren't renewed. Not a lot of them left, and that's why RTO mandates have waned. Still get a few "the cruelty is the point" people like what's in OP.
Ah I should have clarified, they own the building. But otherwise yes, you're right.
That might be why, then. Nobody wants to buy office buildings right now.
"Hard truth realized as a CEO"
After that I was hoping to see "There's more to life than this. I'm wasting the time I've got left on pointless numbers."
The majority of people I would benefit most from being in person with aren't in the same country as me.
Your productivity is conected to your bosses way to lead. I wfh and my time is not measured in hours but in tasks. I have taks and deadlines. That's it, one person will do a task in 20 min another in an hour. So if you go by task it's more productive and I can choose what time I want to do it. Ifyou count the hours the person is working they can just say "oh that wasn't enough we had problems". I think it's dumb
HR people are truly the great parasites of our time.
I worked in the stupid open office space these assholes designed for years. It. Sucked. Distractions everywhere. I couldn't focus on anything. Now I get double the work done in half the time and I don't have a pain in the ass commute. The hubris of assuming what works for you will work for everyone is astounding.
Thank you sooo much for your very presence. We are sooo grateful for your wisdom...
Go fuck yourself with a rusty railroad spike.
Linked in is a cancer.
Ah yes, the mental health crisis is solved at the coffee corner with help from your coworkers.
As a naturally introverted person, working remotely has vastly improved my social life, well-being, and productivity.
I used to burn all my social energy at the office, and when nights and weekends came around, I’d go into hermit mode to recover. Work drained me. Now I’m sitting on my social charger all day while I’m working, and I actually have the energy to see my friends after work and have much better balance in my life.
I’m fortunate to work for a company that let everyone decide what works best for them when RTO mandates started going around, and they get better work from me because of it. This CEO can get fucked.
As a naturally ambiverted person I like that WFH lets me attend social events right after work
if you cant be responsible if not being supervised, dont tell everyone about it
What an idiot. Yet another example of failing upwards.
Well, if you work hard, sleepless nights and have family connections, you can also be that idiot.
overpaid CEOs are a scam
Just more proof most CEO's are damaged mentally.
People can have friends outside of work.
I'd rather spend my time where I'm most comfortable and with people I'm most comfortable with.
No remote working option in my current job though
