I really like how this article addresses the companies who do not trust their employees. I felt the same way when I read about the company that will make their employees work Tuesday through Thursday. It screamed distrust. If productivity has been the same or better while everyone was at home, why not leave it as is with the flexibility to come to the office? I also like how this points out the possibility, of people who come to the office more often than the rest, might get more opportunities because of management that sees productivity as coming into the office, no matter how much work is done.
We were just told that our hybrid schedule would be: a) three days in office mandatory; 2) no two consecutive days at home 3) no consecutive Friday/Monday at home; 4) no Friday before a Monday holiday at home. This is not my immediate organization, but apparently coming from Up On High.
Wow. It's like the bigwigs got together for a brainstorming session to identify all of the ways "our pesky employees will try to abuse hybrid work", and then incorporated the resulting list into a policy memo. Really screams "we trust you".
