Thank you for the update and the decision not to force people return to the office.
Consider the following:
- The economy has permanently changed with Covid
- The labor force has permanently changed too
- The work is digital nowaways, we can do it remote without problem - we've proven that
- Remote work tools have matured, they are stabile and productive - this applies to networks, hardware, software, services - all of them just work therefore enabling us to do work from any corner of the world
- Being in the office makes no difference, collab can happen anywhere, on any tool, on any platform, any team, any time
- The old style of management via bullying (let me command the room with my physical presence) will not work any more - the new manager needs to be swift, well organized, good with collab tools - yelling behind the closed will not get you promoted any more - nowadays there is trace of every discussion, accept it
- Work is measurable now - if you do not believe I am productive while remote, please measured - you can easily count how many ticked I opened or closed, how many customers I took care off, how many projects I've completed, how many files I reviewed, you pick the area and you'll see the results - the minions that hid behind other people's work are in the open now, find them and let them go
- You took care of shareholders and executives for decades - now is the time to take care of the worker and the customer - you've been avoiding for decades and now is time to turnin things around - pay us well, we'll reward you wiht an oustanding performance. take care of the customer, they will keep coming. also, take care of our country and of our local communities, it'll pay back big. We'll get nowhere if we keep hiding our profits, not paying taxes, not investing into our communities - we have to do this, this is the smart thing to do - so, you took care of yourself and shareholders now is the time to expand that to all other, now...
- Be nice to all people
Have a great holiday!
