Some bosses are tying bonuses to getting people back into the office. But with "work from home" the most searched-for term on job websites, the push-and-pull is a source of contention.
“But corporates who are seeing maybe an average of one to two days a week in the office, they are really wanting to drive higher occupancy rates, because they see the benefits of collaboration, innovation. That kind of comes from people face-to-face in the office”.
The other element — mentioned by everyone from CEOs and executives to human resources leaders and academics — is about the mentorship and training of younger staff.
“That,” Mr Broderick notes, "is really hard to replicate from home”
Yeah I read a story on Reddit from one employee of a giant company that had a “all hands on deck” mandatory meeting about working from the office…and the mega CEO was in a videocall instead of being in person for this meeting
Yeah upper management at our work is. That’s pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to “encourage” staff to come in 3 days a week.
As a junior member at my work, this is actually a legitimate reason. Being in person is a way better environment to learn in. And work in to some degree (for me).
Still, I don’t think it’s worth going back to the office as a mandatory thing. It’s too inflexible for people with families, or if you don’t live that close to the city.

Is anyone actually swallowing this tripe?
