[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]GM CEO just told people get back to work. [/b]

Bottom line way back in 2007 my company started remote. Any employee with children was required to show proof of child care or a nanny, my facilities dept. would visit home to set up office and ensure they had an appropriate place to work at home and had to be online business hours and available.

Most women were looking for free child care or run errands or go bus stop.

My co worker did get approval. He had a home office identical to work, one kid in after school program and they rocked it 830 - 530 pm every day.

Most washed out .

Because the GM CEO is going to need to lay off a lot of the white collar workforce in order to pay the UAW's new compensation package. Stellantis just offered buyouts to 50% of its white collar workforce to pay for the new union contract. In GM's case, RTO is a good way to weed out the people who will be the first to get laid off. That's all it is. Plus, GM owns all its real estate and can't monetize the empty square footage. And it sure as hell doesn't want to dump CRE in Detroit, which already faces a lot of downward pressures. No-win situation for GM white collar employees right now. [/quote]

I think it's also much harder for manufacturing companies to have lots of WFH employees. I mean, you have shift workers at your plants that are required to be there at all times, and then you have the procurement team sitting at home in their pajamas. How does that look to those running the plant? [/quote]
