[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just went back to the office last week…and you are complaining???

As a manager, I am struck by those who whine about our hybrid, flexible schedule. Our leadership has essentially labeled the whiners as difficult, unproductive people who could easily be replaced. Trust me: everyone is replaceable.

While some people are productive at home, many are not. Whiners are rarely as productive as they imagine. Your post tells me you aren’t equipped to see past your own needs…and that means you aren’t as strategic as you think. [/quote]

I don't agree with your perspective but I think it's held by many. Many of the people who were cut during Goldman Sachs layoffs were not in the office a lot. The cuts were about needing to reduce operating costs and shifting to a business model more similar to Morgan Stanley, but cuts they were also about productivity and performance and at Goldman Sachs that is intertwined with whether you are in the office. I don't think that being in the office equals productivity (sometimes it's the opposite) but unfortunately many companies still think that there is a relationship there.[/quote]
