Wasn’t quite sure what community to post this…
A recent EnhancV survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. workers subject to new or stricter return-to-office policies found that 72 percent suspect these mandates are really a voluntary attrition strategy — a strategy by their own employers to make them quit their jobs.
The damage is strategic, not merely emotional. Baylor University’s reporting on office mandates and brain drain found that firms with mandates faced greater turnover among women, senior employees, managers and high-skilled workers, while job vacancy duration increased and hiring rates declined. In other words, the people with the most options are often the first to leave. The employees who remain may not be the most committed — they may simply be the least mobile.
A company is not a person. The only trust you should ever have in a company is that it will always do what is best for the board.
Sometimes treating employees well is best for the company, but that can change in an instant.
If a company has ever been kind to you it’s probably because someone in the company likes you, your boss or friend, and are actively going against what the company wants.
People need to stop attributing anything people in a company do to a kindness of the company.
My coworker got me a birthday card, where does the company involve itself in that? Nowhere.
