[quote=Anonymous]SO many people are having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the job market has tightened and they just don't have the same leverage they did a few years ago.

Enough managers across enough industries have come to the same conclusion after these years of experimentation.  Telework only works at most one or two days a week.

As a manager, I would happily be more flexible about telework if the productivity was the same, if the corporate culture were unaffected, if I saw less experienced staff making themselves available for mentoring, if I didn't see constant personality conflicts that would be avoided if staff had more trust-building casual interactions in the office, if I weren't hearing about the staffer who was really skiing on the day that she insists she was getting that urgent project done, if deadlines weren't being missed.

After five years of riding to the rescue on projects, I have put more employees on performance plans and then deliberately let them fail (that is, not done their work for them) so that I can show them the door.

Covid is over.  Get back to work. And I say this as a liberal, Trump-despising Democrat so don't chalk it up to politics.
