[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend told me her company has told everyone, no more remote, and she understands because so many people are "goofing" off with their time.  Management is tired of it and is begging for the five day work week in office again.  The conversation with her went along the lines of well, people will just quite and go elsewhere, her answer, [b]"the have so many resumes piling up in HR that the company is confident they will be fine."[/b]  Don't know if that's true, the HR part, but I personally know three people who were laid off just this past week for economizing purposes.  Little scary.  I don't think WFH advocates are in control any longer.[/quote]

It depends on the job type, maybe. But I think they might be surprised what happens if/when they start telling candidates there is no remote. We are mostly back in-person, downtown, and we have an incredibly hard time finding candidates who are game for this in most professional and admin roles. These are very well-compensated jobs. We have had people (more than one!) bail out of interviews upon realizing that there is so little flexibility. To be honest, we are hiring from a much poorer pool as a result of this. [/quote]
