3 days per week minimum per a company-wide email blast. So much for "Work Appropiately"! And good luck attracting talent to Michigan! #returntooffice #remote #hybrid #apple #att #goldmansachs #boeing #comcast #google #tesla

Crossed a line with my boss
Last month the CEO was telling everyone the current WFH policy was the new standard! Guess that didn't last
It was the new standard for 1 month. Now we have a new-er, better standard !!
Cadillac, the standard of the world 😂
I spoke to my manager and she said that even senior leadership doesn't know about that email and who sent it. I'm sure we'll get more clarification this coming week
Your manager is either lying or incompetent— I’m in senior leadership and this was definitely known. Exact date of the email blast wasn’t known before- but the contents and general timing wasn’t a surprise. Maybe this wasn’t common knowledge to the line managers ?
As a line manager, I can tell you that at least in my IT org; we were never informed prior to the email. My senior manager also was not told in advance.
They tried to recruit me recently. Said I have to be in the office at least 3 days a week. I’m fully WFH so I said nty. Looks like this really is the direction for GM
Tesla used RTO to get people to quit to avoid layoffs/severance guessing GM's just doing the same. Big brain play compared to Ford actually laying off 3k people themselves.
Is it really big brain though? It’ll just cause high performers who can leverage for WFH elsewhere to leave. You’re gonna lose the people who you don’t wanna lose. Btw I’m just making a generalization, not saying all people who WFH are high performers or on-site low performers, etc
nah I was just being facetious. Yeah best WFH people will leave. No way we'll roll back major life decisions to move to Detroit.
I don't think ppl at the CEO level of the org chart particular understand that how much of their current product they owe mainly to senior engineers. The high performers are typically online at night too, can't imagine that will be sustainable if they are commuting.
This is 100% true. My team has done way more with less during the pandemic because another high performing engineer and I were able to work longer hours and pick up the slack of others. If we have to come into the office, that disappears
It's huge because usually the high performers all have domain knowledge on something very specific no one on the team can pick up on. At least that's what I noticed. I don't try to hard myself but any defects that get high level managers involved, the same few ppl are always fixing it and it includes late nights / weekends.
Fuck that
Given the economy and lack of jobs, no one will quit. Before Covid, GM was a solid 5 days in the office culture. Even getting 1 day WFH required massive approvals. People should be happy about 2 days of WFH - 3 days at office is the new normal — even Apple is doing the same. Quite likely Goog and Meta
wagie wagie get back in the cagie
Not sure about that
How can you tighten a bolt if you're not in the plant?
I guarantee you most managers won't enforce it. I sure won't be enforcing it on my team, and other managers in my org have already told me they won't do the same.
I really hope this is the case. I'm worried that they are going to come out with some sort of tracking system though...
Hopefully
