(cont'd from last Wednesday's post)
A source for last Wednesday's post claimed that commuters would never return to their city offices in pre-covid numbers, as if it's an obvious truth. But the opposite analysis, originally in the Washington Post, popped up in my feed: the golden age of WFH may already be over.
“Companies that put up with [remote work] for a long time are finally getting sick and tired of [it] . . . Working from outside the office “simply isn't as productive as office work . . . Too much evidence has piled up to credibly deny this any longer.”
Why? According to Marc Benioff, founder and CEO of Salesforce, new hires and junior staff "do better if they're in the office, meeting people, being onboarded, being trained." Makes sense.
A recent survey found that, "80% of new hires will quit a job if they had a poor onboarding experience—which is much more likely to be the case if they’re welcomed aboard from a distance." And when it comes to promotions, in-person employees have an advantage.
So the jury's still out when it comes to the future of WFH.
