Really sad that so much of our leadership and entire organizations are still not back in the office for at least a few days a week. Morale is all time low with leadership that doesn’t appear to have a firm grasp of their next steps and nobody is working together in the chain. Just having coworkers close by would solve some of this. So nice to be able to walk next door and discuss an assignment with a peer that is in the same situation or has already been there and done that. I see such low quality execution in meetings and leadership doesn’t appear to be able to coach effectively online - things just slip by or take 10x as long. Quiet quitters at all levels are loving their work from home do little life. Where has all the leadership gone that engages their team?

I thought most workplace talking, eating, and dr-gging was done in rest rooms.... then some guy on thelayoff.com shattered my myth.
Sigh.
Back in 2019, we rarely ever saw our management. We all just sat at our desks in WebEx meetings. The only time we saw other people was when we went to the restroom. And FYI, men don’t normally talk in the restroom. That’s a movie myth.
If you thinking returning to the boring, cr-p offices that Ford has will make a difference, I have a bridge to the Mario Universe to sell you.
Morale is all time low because this company genuinely su-ks, the coworkers don't care and have no reason to want to work hard just to get canned in 2 months.
Look at TSLA stock price and look at the mediocrity of Ford's; what type of real talent wants to work here long term? This place is only good for quiet quitters
When someone calls it "Return to work" instead of "return to office" we all know how you execute "work from home".
So the argument is that Work From Home Is too hard for you? Are you a manager that finds that connecting with your remote team takes too much effort? Or an extroverted peer that can only measure their value their day by how many people they left behind on work with their interuptions?
The answer to all the issues around the company is to change leadership. More draconian policies that soothe insecure leader's egos isn't a solution, just a different version of the same problem.
