Too bad TS management doesn't realize.

Just googled “probably on the spectrum”, what a lame comment.
“Missing the rocket surgery joke” is code word for you convoluting two common phrases without realizing it.
Not to mention that most employees don't aren't even in the same location as their supervisor so they still have to rely on managing and measuring their contributions remotely.
Tracking worker productivity for either remote or in-office environments is a no-brainer for companies that set objective and quantifiable goals for performance and make those goals relevant to teams and individual employees. Then individual performance ratings are evident based on outcomes for those metrics.
At BNYM, teams and employees get subjective and fluffy goals often communicated too late in the year. The Bank doesn't take performance management seriously. Employees are subjected to meaningless metrics like the number of days in the office, which has no bearing on most employees' actual performance or the value they add (or don't add).
The remote vs. in-office conflict is yet another glaring reminder that BNYM is woefully mismanaged at the top.
@2sau, monitoring a workers output is management 101. Of course, that's severely lacking at BK.
PS, you're probably on the spectrum if you missed the rocket surgery joke.
Absolutely, but the devil is in how to truly measure workers. Unproductive workers should be handled the same whether they're in the office or at home. But so many hid out in WFH and we learned how poorly our workers can be without in office.
p.s. You either meant “It's not brain surgery” or “it’s not rocket science”, unless you actually are a rocket surgeon which is kind of cool…
@2add, unproductive workers should be handled the same whether they're in the office or at home. It's not rocket surgery.
Very interesting article, but it spent precious little time considering the workers who were nonproductive in the work from home settings. There are two very different sides to this story.
Agree with the previous poster. Some people don’t have much going on outside of work, so they like that interaction… Me, I do not… I don’t need to be forced into conversations.
Leave me alone to do my work and get on with my life
@1yum
Some people need to go into an office, if only to bore others with their life stories, what they did on the weekend, where they might go on vacation, the a/c repairman came, and opinions on sports. Without a captive audience at the office they would have no life. For rhose people, great, have at it. But for people who can do their quality work without sitting at a card table sized desk, you'll never get it. Only time will weed out the archaic mindset through retirements and death, and let the workforce landscape move forward. Yeah, I'm talking to you Jamie.
Employment is at will entitled one. Why not take the honorable route and find a job with a company which hires fully remote employees?
@eqb, "collaborating" face to face is SOOOO 1990's, boomer.
Never in my life heard so much whining about a simple commute.
These are almost unbelievably sheltered individuals.
An hour commute each way is utter idiocy when you can just work from home.
Do that five days a week, 48 weeks a year for 40 years and you've wasted 800 days of your life commuting.
This must be abundantly clear to TS since the expo member leading the LOB is WFH. What am I missing?
An hour commute each way is utter normalcy.
Gen Z fragility does not bode well for the country.
Come on! We're going to save commercial real estate and the MTA!
Speaking of the MTA, fare hikes and no more 20 trip tickets on the commuter trains starting in a few days.
