Only success I’ve seen being part of a RTO mandate is that everyone’s pissed at management and looking to get out. Which is to say it was a success in not paying severance.
Yup; success is relative.
It’s somehow wonderful how masks-off many modern executives are. They’re just outright going “rules are only for you fucking plebs. Now go sit in your cubicles and earn me some money”, no more dancing around with the “we’re all a big family” bullshit
You guys have cubicles? I thought we’ve done away with that and mandated all offices to be deprived of walls and dividers since the 2010s in favor of open office floor plans? Someone get the office manager on the line.
The other “success” in that is that the people who are left, who succumbed to RTO, by definition are going to toe the company line more, and/or have less power to exercise in changing employers, meaning they can be more easily abused.
At the same time, those who stayed were probably not as skilled and thus weren’t able to find other employment. So the company’s overall quality is going to diminish.
Very ironic that zoom does this
The fact that the CEO of a company whose primary purpose is facilitating remote work doesn’t believe remote work is effective is peak irony.
You might as well scream to the entire world that you think the service you’re selling is a worthless sham. But then narcissistic executives tend to have this bizarre blindness to irony.
My jaw hits the floor as the dumbass-in-chief publicly doubles down.
Holy forking shirt balls.
I have so many questions. Specifically:
- Which loved ones of which Zoom board members are locked in this guy’s basement?
- When do his short positions on Zoom stock mature?
I assume the success was reducing headcount by people quitting over RTO.
Gets rid of the expensive employees who won’t follow the rules and leaves openings for fresh graduates and employees who need the job. It’s a win-win for these businesses!
Meanwhile the remote work opportunities are becoming more and more competitive as RTO reduces the pool of available remote jobs. It’s hard enough to compete against 300 people applying in the first day (literally in some cases, it’s insane!), this only makes it worse.
Ya gotta wonder if ceos are paid for their lack of awareness.
ive yet to see a ceo salary that matched the benefit to the company… as they demand of actual labor positions.
