Let them enforce it. Don't quit, that's what they are trying to accomplish anyway.
How would that work? People are just going to stay home in front of a disconnected PC and somehow not get fired?
Why would the PC be disconnected?
If the company doesn't want you to work from home they're not going to let you connect to their system.
That's constructive dismissal
They want people in the office, but they still want people to be able to work when they're at home too. No shot RTO comes with blocking remote access to corp systems, or even prod for that matter.
How would oncalls be handled without it even?
I'm guessing by going into the office haha.
Fuck'em.
Oncall is usually a 24/7 type of thing, where speed is a major factor, and I doubt they would want to restrict oncall engineers to on-site only.
I'm not seeing anything about 24/7 on call workers. The article is about five days a week employees. Did I miss something?
Bork is saying a blanket ban on computers connecting remotely would not work in a company that has a huge operations department who need to be on-call.
Ok, I understand that. But I didn't say anything about either of those things.
You kind of did?
Unless I'm misinterpreting your comment.
I don't know what comment exactly you're referring to. So probably yes.
Nothing I've said has been complicated or profound.
Usually it's phased and they don't cut off remote access entirely. They still want you to be able to work on the weekend at home...
