My office transition from WFH to Hybrid. A lot of people quit over the last year. We’re severely understaffed and we have had trouble hiring.
We had our worst internal survey results for the entire 10 years of my employment.
Management doesn’t seem to correlate the RTO rules as the problem though. 🙃
I’ve been trying to quit too, but I haven’t be able yo find a job yet (i was trying to change careers)
It's not that management doesn't correlate. It's that they planned for RTO to diminish the workforce and then they can start hiring (offshore*) remote workers for a fraction of the cost. At least that's what my company did
Damn you’re right. We have been outsourcing more work to Accenture.
Which is twice as funny because consultants often cost more in the short term. It's mostly to avoid those pesky things like "benefits" or "pension plans" that employers need to take care of for their own employees.
Fuck Accenture.
I see your point, and at the risk of coming off as a dick I will say I think that our next industrial revolution will be when AI replaced a large portion of work force. If you can work entirely from home, odds are what ur doing can be replaced by AI or offshore workers both at a fraction of what your being paid
I don't understand the correlation. If you work entirely in an office the odds are no different that you can be replaced by AI or offshore workers.
The location of where you are doing work changes neither of those things.
I think a lot of office drones aren't understanding what I'm saying here, or are not liking it. If what your doing at work is for example data entry or document management or some of the sort, your job can easily be replaced by AI or offshore workers. If you need to be somewhere to do something, for example plumbing, or human to human interaction than AI and offshore can't replace you. Think about all the work from home people that get the mouse simulators so they can look like their working all day. You really think they can't be replaced in an instant by AI? Can you explain to me what jobs can be worked exclusively from home, with no need to ever physically show up, that cant be replaced by AI ? I'll wait, but I won't hold my breath.
OK I understand now. I thought you were suggesting that if people were working from home but returned to the office they would be less likely to be replaced. In the same position.
Yea I didn't articulate my point well in my first comment. I was drunk when I wrote it LOL. I'm just saying I predict AI will be our next industrial revolution, just as many jobs had been lost to automation, now we will loose many more to AI. At least that's my theory! Part of me hopes it doesn't happen so people don't get out out of jobs the way they did with automation, part of me hopes we embrace it and maybe people won't have to work as much. But we all know the latter won't happen, too much greed :c
