[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m beginning to think that this trend won’t last, especially for high-paying professional jobs, perhaps minus programmers. With a recession looming and [b]increased evidence that many WFH staff are working the system[/b], companies, particularly high-performing ones, seem ready to prune their staff. What do you think?[/quote]

Programmers were already WFH pre-Covid.  Also, explain the bolded statement. [/quote]

You already know. The endless posts on DCUM (and social media) about people using office hours to watch movies, pick up kids, go to the gym, do laundry, make dinner, etc, etc, etc. You’re not one of those “but…but…we proved WFH is sooooo much more productive” jokers, are you?  :lol: [/quote]

I do this things on my breaks- you know the 15 minute and 30 min lunches that are legally required? In our office, people watched movies on their phone while working. I can dinner prep (can of salsa and frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot) and be on a phone call.

Because of this, I am more amenable to calls or tasks outside the 8-5 work hours. I have seasonal calls with programs all over the country and sometimes they need calls in the afternoon. I would not do calls after 330pm if I was in the office because my childcare closes at 6pm. If I am WAH I can pick him up, and have a call late, as late as 6pm when PST is 3pm. [/quote]
