This is, in fact, a deliberate strategy. It's a good way to encourage the loafers to go on their way.

Except the people who can find other jobs and therefore leave are the high performers.

this x 1000000

Really? Our higher performers (who happen to be in their mid-50s) are not getting any bites on resumes they've submitted.

oh stop. you have no idea who is submitting resumes and what bites they're getting.

For all the hate on GenZ, they love to go to the office.

I’m a 48 year old Gen X woman and I love going into the office. It’s mostly us Gen Xers with some Zers, I’m starting to like the younger folk.

Same, but a few years older.

Maybe the ones living in apartments close to work. The ones who are saving while living with their middle class parents have the same awful commutes as the rest of us, and don't want to be in every day.

Don't generalize. The Gen z in our office are our strongest wfh supporters.

I can’t wait till fully remote becomes an optional policy for all and everybody takes it

You’ll see me send spreadsheets from my mountain cabin in Colorado and will never again step foot in DC save if the president needs me

The could send you spread sheets in Colorado, but they could pay less to send spreadsheet to India or even the UK or EU. WFH is not great for people who expect HCOL salaries

There's a reason the US has a higher COL salary than the rest of the world. You absolutely get what you pay for. I've seen projects moved to 2nd/3rd tiers and they just churn because everyone is used to scoring well at school but not actually "making work work".

^^this and it costs 3X as much in the end and the resulting product is sub-par and needs to be re-done. Seasoned execs know this and don't fall for the "cost savings".

What happens when you need to go to a hospital? Who is going to want to be a doctor or nurse if that's the only job you can't do from your mountain cabin?
Pay them more? American Healthcare workers already make more money than anywhere else.
Just salty because we keep losing nurses who switch careers to work from home. We hired a 75 year old nurse and she got poached for $$ by another hospital after 3 months.

I do this one simple trick: I don’t get sick.

The time differences, language and cultural are truly problematic.

If you require any discussion or interaction about the spreadsheets then you need someone on US soil.

I didn't see anyone worried about cultural differences when it came to importing Filipinas to teach special ed kids, or to provide elder care, in a couple of recent threads. Only your cushy white collar WFH jobs require a genuine American.

Those are the opposite of WFH jobs. If imported Filipinas are just as good, they’ll come for your 5-day in-office job too.

Right, so we're going to have a society made up of super-important WFH people on mountaintops making $700k+ (every DCUMer), foreign people working for Peanuts doing the actual labor, and vast masses of idle Americans receiving welfare. Let's hope your children all have IQs over 130 or they're screwed.
