I remember pre-covid there was a push towards flexibility and remote work, hence the start of hoteling cubes. Now it’s the complete opposite. They’re setting arbitrary rules that make no sense. The 3 days in office rule is just garbage. When did people ever come into the office pre-covid during thanksgiving week?
And the new stack ranking enforced during performance reviews is ridiculous. If everyone on my team is doing their work, why should someone be categorized below meets just to meet some arbitrary number? Promotions are almost impossible to come by.
Many of the best are leaving. If I wasn’t so close retirement, I’d be looking for a new role. Maybe I’m a long hauler but I still remember when WF leadership treated employees with some decency
