[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to play IBM's game for 6-12 months until they get rid of enough head count and liquidate some of their crappier regional commercial RE.

Tell him to fly up to Westchester airport on Monday AM and fly back home Wednesday PM. Three days in the office. It's a box checking exercise.

All these companies will relax RTO policies once they've brought down their costs and offloaded some of their CRE. They want to see who is loyal to the company and will bite the bullet. If he's well compensated and in the latter half of his career, he should figure out how to make it work.

I guarantee it will be a better and more flexible landscape in 12 months once they get rid of some deadweight. [/quote]

Yes to this. Or play the game and see which "reports" show that he needs to show up more often. As long as it's a warning system and not instant termination I guess. At my company the people who care (the ones with real estate stake IDK) get an aggregate report. That had a person who was out for surgery not "showing up" as a red flag. Hilarious. The managers get the report and don't care much but they would warn someone who wasn't making numbers, and they would be aware of who is out for surgery. [/quote]
