What a BS answer during the town hall on return to office. How do I form strong link connections when my entire team is based on another office… complete bs excuse my I force people back to office after lying about Work that Works. People accepted jobs because of WtW. Terrible organization.

I heard a lot of return to office has to do with the cities where our offices are located taxing the companies for low occupancy. We aren’t there to buy $20 salads with our low salary increases. People aren’t shopping on their lunch hours. People aren’t taking transportation or paying $45.00 to park.
They clearly don't see how poor the offshore model has been. We are bleeding business of incompetent leadership and offshore who cannot work. Some how miracles from field who are kudos keep this ship going
Re: “…return to work…”
They absolutely believe the WFH crew isn’t working. Additionally, they’ve made references to the US employee base being lazy and spoiled (directed at HQ locations vs field locations).
Ramon accidentally said return to “work” then quickly corrected himself to “office”. Sums up his perspective that not-office = not-work. It’s a miracle we achieved anything in the last three years, never mind record profits…..
Yep. I love how this is a blanket RTO. IT worked quick and saved the a** of the company when we had to quickly move to remote work and they were even kind enough to leave us off the recent survey - which says more for what they think about us than anything. They don't care about our opinions or how the record profits are directly tied to people being happier, and in some cases MORE productive, working from home. You can tell our glorious leader didn't even like answering the question because the decision came from him directly and not HR.
Sounds like you are in a perilous situation. I found myself in your seat during the last round of large scale layoffs. My entire team sat in one of the three major hubs, while I sat in a different one. Needless to say, when one person needed to be chopped from the team, it was me. At the end of the day your "PepsiCo Social Caste" will contribute more to your growth (or demise) than any other factor.
