[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m beginning to think that this trend won’t last, especially for high-paying professional jobs, perhaps minus programmers. With a recession looming and [b]increased evidence that many WFH staff are working the system[/b], companies, particularly high-performing ones, seem ready to prune their staff. What do you think?[/quote]

Programmers were already WFH pre-Covid.  Also, explain the bolded statement. [/quote]

You already know. The endless posts on DCUM (and social media) about people using office hours to watch movies, pick up kids, go to the gym, do laundry, make dinner, etc, etc, etc. You’re not one of those “but…but…we proved WFH is sooooo much more productive” jokers, are you?  :lol: [/quote]

If you make a claim (WFH home people are slacking) shouldn’t you provide evidence?

Over the past two years, if there was actual, quantifiable evidence that WFH hurts productivity, office morale, engagement, collaboration, etc., wouldn’t someone have published that data and wouldn’t companies be singing about it from the rooftops?

Instead, we get vague, broad pronouncements.  And we know what that means- WFH didn’t have any appreciable affect.  My employer publishes quarterly productivity reports, and productivity increased during the pandemic.  However, they still insisted that employees go into the office weekly- no employee enjoys this, for many they sit alone in their cubes the entire day and get less done.[/quote]
