I’ll believe the “it’s here to stay” shit when I see it. From where I sit I only see managers that want people in cubicles again 5-6 days a week while they can work remotely or hybrid.
Yeah. It's like trying to convince a toddler to eat less sugar for their own health.
Perfect analogy. Gonna start using this
There are some good ones out there. Where I work, they believe me to be irreplaceable. The truth is that I'm sure there are thousands of competent engineers that could replace me, just not for my salary, and certainly not also willing to move to a small town. They don't want to pay full market rate for what I do, but they convince me to stay on by letting me work my own hours, full-remote, great vacation and benefits, etc. Ive been so productive since leaving office work that the entire organization now has remote work policies.
They've figured out that it's cheaper to just make your employees not hate their lives and I'm absolutely here for it.
It's not here to stay until it's put into law
Oh damn I basically commented this before reading it because I thought it’d be an uncommon position. Fuck the artificial stupidity of corporate bureaucratic hierarchies.
