[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A “dirty secret” of WFH at my 6,000 person old firm that is fully remote is “job abandonment” was number one termination reason in 2022.

Also we pay out vacation days. So people literally rarely put in vacation days to build them up.

People have figured out let’s say I make 120k a year. And I have RSUs vest at 2k a month and accrue vacation days at 2 per month why quit. Just start new job and ghost or just pretend or pretend to work it can take weeks, months etc. to get terminated. It becomes headache for managers.

I ghosted my old job four months once and new job boss was a pest. I ended up ghosting new job, catching up old job and eventually new job terminated me.

I say 70 percent of employees my old firm did it. So funny. This is why WFH is dying there is never a reason ever to quit. We had retirees, people move back to hone country, people start new business. There is never a reason to quit. Companies are catching on. Which is what RTO is about.

Heck I did a five month consulting gig at $20k a month flat fee. All WFH. Of course I kept my day job. What was downside?

80 percent of Remote people have a second gig. That’s a fact. Other 20 percent 10-15 percent goofing off or SAHMs.

Yes you can goof off in office. But I literally did 3-5 hours a week work for five months. That’s impossible in person to pull off. [/quote]

This is insane. we are in meetings all day and have rolling deliverables. if your employee is not so busy that you need to make sure they are sitting in an office to KNOW they just doing your job, then you don't need to have that employee to begin with[/quote]

I have strict KPIs and deliverables. Why do you have meetings all day? My job I just left after 2 years 2 months had two hours of meetings a week and a 90 minute meeting every other week. My meetings was 12-1 on Monday, 1-2 on Thursday and 7 am to 830 pm every other Thursday. I on my own never scheduled a single meeting unless forced. And always early or late or at lunch. I kept 9-12 and 2-430 free as “focus” hours.

The job countered when I left. I literally could do 3 months of work in three weeks time. In person I would do more work. At home I hit the kpi and stop. Either goof off or do another job.

Ironically in WFH I looked like the hard worker. I have a 7 am meeting with UK and same day a 7 pm call or slack messages with San Fran. I only work before 9am or lunch or after 6 pm. [/quote]
