In 2010 I converted my companies to 100% WFH and I sold our office spaces. It has been smooth sailing ever since and our employee retention has been amazing.

IMHO, if you need your employees corraled in the office to effectively manage, then you are just a bad manager.

I’ll save you the click to know the details:

On Wednesday, some Amazon employees received an email accusing them of not adhering to the company’s RTO policy, which requires coming into the office at least 3 times a week, according to a copy of the email obtained by Insider.

“We are reaching out as you are not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week, even though your assigned building is ready,” the email stated.

Some of the email recipients have said the warning was sent to them by mistake because they’ve been coming into the office as required. According to an internal ticket, seen by Insider, at least one employee raised the possibility of a technical bug in data generation and processing, saying it’s “not clear” why they received this email.

Sounds like a great way to lose good employees.

Another silent layoff. RTO is a grift.

There’s a few engineering departments in my company. Mine is 100% remote, where some are hybrid. And while all departments have job openings, mine gets 20x more applications because we get really qualified people in random places.
