Who wants to bet that the executive team is still working a majority of their time remote?
The incredibly disingenuous tact of filming in front of a green screen made me think nothing both. If being in the office was so important, why weren’t they actually in theirs?
When will these people realise that 5 days a week in the office is over. These companys will lose all their talent real quick.
Seems they already did, making such decision and video did not come from talents.
We need this second little revolution for a better work life balance.
They're firing people without giving them severance. That's all this is, theater to say they didn't technically fire them and that they quit.
The bullshit the growth VP was spouting about “creativity through random interactions” has largely been disproven and really only matters if your only goal is to have random interactions. Once the random interactions are over and the novel ideas generated, you have to go execute. People that worked at the agency credited with the big open office book talk to this day about how much of a shit show that stuff is.
I've worked in two open offices and, yeah, I largely hated it. One was just to enable micromanagement and prevent you from taking any breaks. The other was the opposite, in a very small company, having far too many distractions from music to complete nonsense conversations.
I've now moved to a fully remote role and we get far more done. No distractions and a tidy environment (my home) to think. The "random interactions" occur in group chats and the odd meet-up. Mixing the right people is sufficient and the setting is largely irrelevant.
I choose else! Give me else!
hey guys come work for my company, plenty of work out there where you don't have to sacrifice.
