It's a joke!!! Prior to the pandemic, the typcial office was anything but a 'tight ship' It was the opposite! Conpanies had been transformed in country clubs, game rooms and meditation retreats; with stocked kitchens, beer carts and dogs & cats running amuck All in the name of employee engagement, retention and happiness!!! The result: People LOVED their 'jobs', BUT they weren't working!!! Then the Pandemic hit!!! The world was coming to end! Wait…No it wasn't! PPP loans saved the day They were handed out like Candy to companies that didn't even need the money!!! And? They spent it foolishly!!! ———————————————— Now the chickens have come home to roost!!! And although employers enabled this mess — employees are just as complicit in it This is my take on the 'back to the office' vs. 'remote' saga.
