Yes! Blame remote workers, but not leadership failures
The leadership failure is allowing remote
The leadership failure is failing to create effective onboarding plans for new employees. There are companies who are doing extremely well allowing all employees remote. Amazon is definitely one of shit places to onboard virtually
True, he posted this in the company channel without providing any metrics or data to back up his statement. He also said other things too and this really pissed off a lot of employees. He just posted how disappointed he is given that it got leaked to the press 🤣 This company has been a hot mess lately and I can’t wait to get out .
I heard SFDC has good WLB.
They onboarded as remote and slacked off from day 1. Blind will of course deny but that's what everyone knows is the truth. Remote work = no work
Based on what actual evidence?
His ass
Onboarding remote is way harder. Plus you don't really build relationships at the company so it's treated as a commodity
It's just a failed model. People slack. It's harder for the ones who don't. Relationships don't happen despite the claims that slack is all you need. It's kind of been refuted by real world results
Real world results? How can you possibly tease apart all the macro economic factors at play right now? Remote work started in 2020 - and productivity absolutely soared all the way up until 2022 - gee, I wonder what happened? What could have possibly happened in 2022 that caused productivity to go down? It must be WFH, even though that hasn’t changed for years. Makes sense. I find it funny how executives keep making these allusions to productivity going down but literally none of them bother to present any data or back up their claims with actual metrics. Data matters for anything and everything except RTO. With RTO it’s just “trust me bro”, this will fix our company’s problems.
Does Salesforce not pip people?
Not the CEO
I dunno Brett Taylor left
Watch out for more CEOs to emulate daddy elon if this twitter mess turns even a dime of profit.
Yet another RTO propaganda piece designed to attack remote workers. I’m sick and tired of these awful articles that demonize WFH workers just because they don’t buy into the corporate nonsense. There is nothing wrong with remote as long as the work is getting done; magically making your employees RTO isn’t going to be the solution to productivity issues and help you innovate in your market. It’s a shame that this recent downturn in the tech market has emboldened C-suite executives, middle managers and other RTO advocates to aggressively cut out many of things that made working in tech enjoyable, including remote work. TC: 62K
“As long as the work is getting done” - that’s exactly their argument though…
I'd hate to be at Salesforce right now. Incoming slew of "tribal knowledge building" meetings, workshops, workshops on how to do workshops, and last but not least finding random KPIs to measure.. Should keep a few hundred PMs accross the company occupied.
So you would rather be at Amazon where 30k employees will be layoff fodder. GTFO
That's true for every company right now
Well first maybe not have co ceos lol
Handful of important people looking for an excuse for RTO while the market is still in the company’s favor.
