If only essential people need to show up at the work office, then that will mean that 75% of the managers will not be there.
Working from home is the new trend everywhere with 70% of folks spending a couple of days a week working from home
This is a good way to save commute time without sacrificing productivity. Also save on fixed and variable costs. Oil and gas industries are way behind and should reconsider especially after the Covid experience
What a dumb thing to say - Non-essential identifies people that do not need to be “in the field” to be productive or valuable - Mechanics are essential to be in the field, they are pretty useless if they are not, production operators need to be in the field - they are pretty useless if they are not - The production operator and the mechanic presumably want to get paid, they probably want someone to hold their hand while they travel the dangerous outside world to get to the only place they are essential. Finance, HR, SCM, IT and many many more are essential to the business, they just have flexibility to be valuable when they are not in the field. I may be anonymous but I am someone “in the field”
Microsoft has more techies than managers. Chevron has more managers than techies.
MSFT is a well run company operating from a position of strength. They also don’t waste millions of dollars and endless months shuffling chairs and debating new names for the same piles of organizational sh!t.
Losers will have to stay home and do what they always do, a lot of nothing. Essential personnel will need to come in and keep the company running.
