#rtomandates — Public Fediverse posts

"When the evidence clearly points elsewhere?" Yeah, here you go👇🏻

“Leaders talk about productivity, collaboration, culture and the creative energy that supposedly appears when people share a building”

And yet 👇🏻

“[…] mandate firms did not show a detectable improvement in profitability or firm value relative to non-mandate companies” [2/2]

“Presence is easy to observe. Value is harder. A serious workplace policy should know the difference” 👉🏻 https://siliconcanals.com/t-return-office-mandates-firm-performance-employee-satisfaction/

Next time you're exposed to the silly #RTOMandates, remember the quote above and seriously question the motives as to why an org. would want their employees back at the office when the evidence clearly points elsewhere ... [1/2]

Although perhaps my favourite:

"When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down"

Choose wisely (with your feet) who you're working for👌🏻😎

A couple of noteworthy quotes:

"They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshipped at the office altar"

"[…] self-centered leaders tend to struggle with the idea of employees making independent choices about where to work"

Like I said, incredibly useful reminder showcasing some early signs to watch out for when working with sociopaths / psychopaths

"[…] ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities" 👉🏻 https://archive.ph/QpMio

Fascinating new research acting as a friendly reminder: Whenever your manager asks you to return to the office, because of, you know, productivity, culture, innovation, etc. you may actually be dealing with a sociopath / psychopath 😤🤯🤬

Fascinating analysis. Another group of workers appearing ripe for organizing. Haven’t read even half the comments, but thoughtful responses, making the article a window into a world that is a potential force in Seattle.
