is there anything they're actually capable of?

One of my favorite absolute absurdities I see is this. Talk to US survey comes out. People DEMOLISH the Managing Committe and Senior Leaders. People are talking about L1, L2, and L3 mostly. What do the L1, L2, and L3 do about it? If they even consider it, the FREAKING DELEGATE IT to L4, L5 and below. "Hey minion, people hate me, go fix it". The absolute cluelessness of leaders at the top is mind boggling. Our CEO India F McKensey (f = "first") is a clown show of a leader.
@a1 I was just talking about this earlier today. They talk so much about efficiency but then implement something that requires probably millions of dollars in overhead because of the micromanagement. The tickets HR has to open, the time people managers have spent dealing with angry employees, having conversations about it, trying to get the reporting fixed so their directs don't get fired because the system is fu--ing broken.
Throw the whole MC into the trash.
@ae remote employees do seem pretty worried about keeping their jobs - but at least they get to worry from the comfort of their own homes, and don’t have to schlep a portable office 60.1% of their time, with trash cans nearby, no gasoline or food expenses, and free parking.
I’ve been in the workforce over 30 years ( including 16 of them at US Bank) and I’ve never encountered this level of micromanagement where salaried professionals are treated like they’re hourly employees. This is not meant to disparage anyone hourly at all but being on salary has typically meant you aren’t tracked on an hourly basis. You are trusted to be mature and professional enough to manage your time and perform your job and if you aren’t getting your job done, you get fired. You are evaluated based on your overall performance not based on where you’re sitting and for how long. Simple.
This just boggles my mind because it’s so draconian.
I'm still in awe of the micromanagement of RTO. Why are hybrid employees being held to a different standard than remote employees? Stay in an office for eight hours but remote employees can move around as they please. All to check off a box to meet a monthly metric.
Just get punch clocks at the hubs. The old fashioned ones with actual cards. Simple. Cheap.
So much time, resources, and money spent on Rto non-sense. The whole MC needs overhaul.
Outsourcing?
The resources being spent on this, not least of which includes company morale and employee good will, is stagging.
U.S. Bank, we put shooting our own foot first.
