Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

I just want to say when I glance at this site, every time I see “It’s probably not going to work out” it does make me LOL. Thank you, OP. Indeed, it’s probably not. But people are resilient and things will eventually work out for each one of us.

RTO will be a norm. It may take another decade, but the current dinosaur leaders will be proven to be inept and uninnovative decision makers. C-suite always yapping on and on about employees adapting, while they themselves are the most rigid of all.

History will not be kind to these pathetic leaders. But they'll be rich and retired by then, so they won't care. Just like John Stumpf doesn't care about his stain on history.

RTO wins, even if we have to wait out the losers.

Medium, Large and Enterprise class employers need to be more accountable for the roles they hire and what their actual responsibilities are day-to-day.

If someone is a creator/new money generator/innovator/seat at the tabler, the office makes sense. Getting these roles in a room together doesn't require these roles to complain about RTO. They get it. Compensation is on the high end too.

If someone does things like operations, support, repeatable tasks, research - let them work remote. These are low-mid earners who can quickly job hop, may have minimal career aspirations or accept the status quo, the rat race doesn't apply.

It isn't that difficult to organize workers by roles/responsibilities and then assign the appropriate workplace type.

*If there is income/tax loss by the minimized leased office space and worker presence in certain areas, which there as been already, the spaces can be adjusted/adapted over time to bring new life back. This is a good thing, the pain of hollowed out commercial areas. Opportunity is there.

FRTO

By then it won't matter as the c-suite will have moved most of the jobs to India/Philippines. Can you imagine how customers are going to feel when they get their escalated complaints answered by the new India staff?

We all know how Amazon treats their employees. It’s probably not going to work out regardless, don’t blame it on remote work.

“LOL” = I’m an internet troll.

(I’m not going to share it here because I don’t want to solve our CEO’s problems for free.)

LOL

I do think it is revealing that the CEO hedged his statement by using the word “ probably”.

I’m not pro-RTO. But I’m not pro-wimpy bosses, who make millions per year, who can’t find solutions and lead their teams either. I think the solution is easy. (I’m not going to share it here because I don’t want to solve our CEO’s problems for free.) But for God’s sake - could we have some leaders who know how to manage people, communicate effectively and steer the ship?

So you're saying there's still a chance? I got you.

So you are saying it might work out?

lol, it's not going to work out for them. It's an eventuality that more efficient competitors will force more WFH. You can't have consistently higher expenses and remain competitive. Eventually we will win the Great RTO War. F Hudson Yards and F Amazon HQ too.
