[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM shows who it is all along - a bunch of middling, unimpressive boomer middle managers stuck in a dinosaur mindset of the 20th century.

Can you all please retire and let the workforce modernize already? You are a huge drag on worker productivity with all of your inane micromanaging and stupid office culture that only wastes tons of time.[/quote]

Amen. Back before COVID I had to work in person and as a manager I had to run the dishwasher and put away boomer dishes. Never again[/quote]

Gen X here who prefers hybrid. For the arrogant younger generation who thinks they know it all, I hope that you accept that one of the results of having a fully remote workforce is that companies can now replace you with lower paid resources in low cost areas who can do the job just as well or even better than you . Don't act like you have some irreplaceable skill or talent that someone else  can't do.[/quote]

Yes but I’m that scenario people can work anywhere while living anywhere. Turnover at companies will be much higher as people can consider better jobs from all over the country. Good employers will have to pay well and treat people well to attract and keep talent. And if you are not that talented, you should still have more employers to choose from.

I think what fully remote would really signal is the rise in 1099 work and having fewer workers who are permanent employees with decent benefits. But if down the road we could divorce the ability to get affordable health coverage from work, everyone would benefit, workers and employers alike.[/quote]

Agree but it's important to note that living in a high cost area like DC will actually be a disadvantage for majority of knowledge workers who want a full time remote job. Companies who have these amazing WFH policies will naturally seek candidates who don't have to be paid a ton of money. And the idea that companies want only rock stars is a myth. Most companies need people to just get the work done (for majority of roles),  not superstars. Just look around your company and I bet many of us are working with people who aren't doing anything extraordinary.[/quote]
