Remote Work - Do The Right Thing

Remote Work - Do The Right Thing

I am feeling extremely frustrated right now and as I write this, I know I am preaching to the converted. The feedback I get from my videos and articles tells me that most of you concur with my feeling about the demand for employees to return to the office. Yet the people who need to listen are not listening. Are they so protected n their CEO towers that common sense cannot enter?

This myopic focus on where work gets done is antiquated. The focus should be on how work gets done, that benefits both the employee and employer.

Instead of listening to employees and taking a dose of reality, they are now seeking more subversive tactics to get employees back into the office.

Whilst many are getting it wrong, there are those getting it right.

I think this trend among leadership is being driven by two unspoken phenomena: 1. Pressure from politicians seeking to evade economic responsibility for their disastrous decisions during the pandemic. 2. The psychological need of many leaders to have their people where they can see them and feel powerful.
