Maybe We Should Look at the Data

Another study just came out showing exactly what AT&T leadership apparently refuses to acknowledge - - Fully remote employees reported the highest well-being. Fully onsite employees reported the lowest.

8,000 employees studied and the study found no evidence that remote employees were less connected to their coworkers or company culture.

So what exactly are we accomplishing with 5x RTO?

We’re burning hours commuting, burning people out, ki-ling flexibility and forcing people into an office so they can sit on Teams all day.

And then leadership wonders why morale su-ks.

This isn’t complicated. If someone can do their job effectively from home, let them.

Stop forcing people into the office because you feel like it should make them more productive. The data isn’t backing you up.

But I’m sure big stink will find a way to explain why this study doesn’t apply to us.

@aw what a fu--ing loser. You will get caught and let go for cause btw.

Just get rid of ALL, like 100% of the coffee badgers, time theft-ers and replace with young, eager and willing to go to work new grads.

Su-k your own di-k, office loser

@ap thousands of young people and new grads WILL go to a fu--ing workplace!!

Replace the ones that want to lie, er work, from their bed and get some actual employees.

@ag WFH means bragging on here that you steal company time and defraud. Lots of posts about it.

I'd be happy af too just "working" at home - shopping, extra curriculars, sleeping, going out, watching tv or video gaming.

@ap nah. I’ll continue to waste time and resources while doing the bare minimum and collecting full paychecks. You sycophants can pick up the slack. All I have to do is show up and watch Netflix on my iPad. You keep working hard and paying my checks, cuck. If that pi---s you off - it’s just an added benefit.

They don’t care. RTO is and has happened. Work from home is done. Please get over it and stop complaining. Go to work or don’t they really don’t care. They will open a req and replace you within 48 hours. They have no loyalty so stop worrying about them.

For certain, abuses occur with rto. You have employees not paying attention as well as they should, working a 2nd job, giving in to home distractions. Whenever I see people reference studies showing benefits of wfh, they often don't say who did they study or where to read it. No way people are as connected remote as they are in office.

They don't care.

Instead of pushing back on RTO, y'all should start bring up the numerous studies that show that a 4 day, 32 hour work week is more productive than the 5 day 40 hour week.

Data showed that WFH people are better tennis players and golfers. Yow.

@a8 - good one 😂

Data reviews led to the current 5-day policy.
