[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WFH has nuked productivity at my company, in two specific ways. First, it has multiplied time in meetings by two- or threefold. This means that there is far less time for actual work. We now have many managers who don't do anything other than receive requests are reroute them to others via email, PowerPoint, and Teams. This is literally like the guy in Office Space who takes requirements from customers to engineers because he's a a people person, damnit. Secondly, it has essentially made it impossible to train new people. It turns out that entry level employees need lots of in-person time--instructional and unstructured--to become productive. We've now gotten to the point where the senior leaders who moved away or refuse to come in are on their way out, and we're only hiring new employees locally. WFH, for us, was a failed experiment.[/quote]

That sucks, and it sounds like WFH didn't work at your company.  In my company, we've had the opposite experience.  Meetings are shorter and often more streamlined.  We've had to come up with new ways to train new, entry-level employees and bring them into our office culture, but it's been a success -- we've surveyed our new hires anonymously and regularly, and they all report feeling supported, connected to the office and like they're receiving the training they need to be successful (and their work output shows the same).

So, for us, it's been a success.[/quote]
