Is anyone actually living this out there or is this all just bullshit?
My old boss started pushing RTO heavy. He was already a stereotypical failure of a manager, doling out useless kudos when we want.fucking.training.budget.keith, and chasing that sales-dick limelight all the time.
He’s not my boss anymore. On a day off I came in, dropped off my shit, lobbed a note into my file in HR, and peaced out.
My new company gave me one extra week of holiday but my pay cut was 3% for the first year. 100% WFH and it’s in the union agreement. Can’t work from outside the country in case it’s secret-squirrel (data sovereignty).
Near V5H postal.
The letter defense company I work for is forcing everyone back into the office at the end of the month.
:raises hand:
One of the offices doesn’t even have room for all the employees. They have people working in conference rooms.
I haven’t seen it, personally (Toronto)
You guys have been working from home?
Absolutely living this out. I just quit my job at Amazon because they wanted me to be back in the office or be fired, in a different city than the one I live in and started at the company at, eleven years ago. I chose to quit so that I’m still rehirable if I need to go back.
Other people have it worse than me, especially if they are on H1B visas where the option is RTO or GTFO of the country if you can’t find employment soon enough.
My work has us on a stupid hybrid schedule, but if WFH is ever ended completely, I’m gone.
Haven’t dealt with it personally, but know of people who have. The one constant is that the places I’ve heard of that have a RTO mandate are short-staffed and brain-drained.
