[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once an office gives up the space, it is hard to go back.  My office only has 20% of what we used to.  I am not worried.[/quote]

Me, neither…sorta.

Yes, it’s difficult but not impossible to force staff back into the office once you have reduced office space.

But I believe the OP is also wondering if the remote staff might be the first ones axed when cuts are needed. I think that’s something to consider. Rather than eliminating all WFH/remote staff, I do think it’s possible for decision makers to suggest that 1 highly reliable staffer (particularly one who comes into the office) is just as good/all you need and cut those remote staff who are perceived as slackers.

While we aren’t presently cutting, I routinely hear leadership commenting about certain remote staff/teams. The impression is that they are coasting.

FWIW, I make a point of being in the office. It’s how I get FaceTime with the executives as well as how I hear their impressions of others. [/quote]

Also, they can reconfigure that 20% office space to hold 80% in a hoteling open floor plan, and have you come in 80% time. [/quote]
