[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue is I had some coworkers and staff very smart at certain things. SQL queries, PowerPoint, slack, service now, etc etc. We are all not good at everything.

Those few Rock stars really helped multiple people during the day.

Now home their “own” work gets done quicker and “they” are more productive

But 2-3 other people are way less productive. I literally struggled 16 hours on an IT issue my coworker could have got done in five minutes. [/quote]

It's true that no one is good at everything. Do the 2 -3 other people bring anything to the table? Or are they just dragging down the "rock stars"?

If the top producers prefer to telework because it frees them from the distraction of carrying water for the less productive members, that should rightly drive your organization to telework. Otherwise you have a culture and retention problem no matter where people work. Those people are not being paid to do tech support, they have their own jobs.[/quote]

This. A lot of the complaints seem to revolve around people not being available for all the unpaid nonsense labor that companies used to get for free. You want mentorship? Pay people for it and assign it. You want people to plan your parties? Pay for it. You want people to solve your IT problems? PAY FOR IT. This is really not that hard. [/quote]
