Zoom, the company that powered the remote work revolution during the pandemic, is telling its employees to come back to the office.
Another silent layoff. No one is buying the ‘hur dur in the office is more productive’ bs anymore.
yup. another case of lose your best and retain your worst.
Tech companies have optimized their hiring processes to hire the worst possible candidates anyway.
No one is buying the ‘hur dur in the office is more productive’ bs anymore.
It totally is a silent layoff, but I think a large chunk of the older execs still actually believe the office is more productive. There’s also a large chunk executives who have investments in commercial real estate companies who are trying to put off the complete collapse of that market so they can get more of their money out before it all goes to shit.
Putting aside the irony, Zoom isn’t excluded from the return to office trend that’s sweeping tech companies. In recent months, Google, Amazon and Salesforce have enacted similar policies, ending a Covid-era approach that gave employees more freedom to work from home. However, businesses have faced some pushback from employees after workers grew accustomed to greater flexibility.
Ironic indeed.
Booooo
Tech pioneers turned shilling brain dead practices…
I guess when you are slave driving, control is the priority.
