Thread regarding PNC layoffs

@ap I factored in less pay, PTO and benefits when I accepted a job that was virtual because of the flexibility.

@ap the job I accepted was remote silly. This was never a factor as, like compensation, I accepted a work arrangement when I took the job a few years ago. If the CEO sent me an email saying my pay that I negotiated was to be reduced by 15% to facilitate a culture shift I would be just as outraged. PNC hiring full remote employees out of state then demanding they sell their houses and uproot for 70k a year by May for "culture" is a rug pull. A more serious government would punish them for altering contracts years after the fact.

@ap not when you've always been remote. All of that is a hit to your wallet and pay when you haven't had to for over 10 years.

@b1 executive suite by far, HR may be useless but at least they're also getting paid dogshit while the leeches su-k every bit of worth out of us.

@ap This is affecting people who's roles have been fully removed for upwards of 10~20 years. Not just holdovers from the pandemic.

@ap and HR enters the chat. What’s more useless, HR or the executive suite?

@ap When you haven’t had these expenses in 5+ years in some situations, it’s no longer a “factored in” expense. It’s now a new expense that takes money from the employee. With any job, regardless of location, if there’s suddenly a new expense that amounts to thousands over the course of a calendar year, it’s a big deal. If your job suddenly introduced a new expense, I’m sure you wouldn’t be thrilled either. Spare me.

"pay for parking, additional childcare, food, travel, vehicle maintenance, etc"

This is part of having a job, silly. This is factored in when accepting a job. Distance to office, pay, benefits, normal daycare, condition of car, etc. Why does this seem so foreign? It's the way of the world

I would say kindly work as prescribed 9-5 M-F. Been done over a century. Office is for collaboration and team work. Home is for family matters, family ties, and the View. See at the office.

I wouldn't say it is control. They want to force people to quit. The opposite of quiet quitting, quiet layoffs by making the workplace worse. This also doesn't factor in backroom deals to get more boots on the ground in dying cities.
