Bosses Say Businesses Will Regret Return To Office Demand

Some employees have said they would be willing to take a pay cut to keep working from home as businesses demand workers return to the office.

Atlassian futurist Dom Price tells us why businesses will come to regret that demand.

Yup . I took a small pay cut to be able to work from home . I live in South Africa where we have a huge shortage of developers and high demand . Lots of companies here insisting developers coming into the office full time even though they don’t want to and then complaining they can’t find good developers .

I took a paycut to work from home. We have a chat going on between all of us in the dept, including our mgr--and the regional mgr. Plus, a zoom meeting once a week. We have daily work quotas, plus weekly and monthly goals. Every call, text, and email is tracked along with production. With the software available nowadays, there is no reason to be disconnected even when working from home.

Ha! My work built a head quarters that can only fit 80% of our workforce. We make the most of our face-to-face days but we also tell people to wfh if they feel like it. I've retained staff because of this policy!

None of my actual teammates are in the office, so what's the reason then?

My boss is upset that I don't get as much work done as before. My productivity is down.
I spend 20 hours per week commuting. I used to gladly do non-paid work back when I worked from home.
Now that I was forced back to the office. As soon as my shift is over, I'm gone. I'm not going to work any extra non paid work now that I have to commute.

I know Atlassian but Who is Matthew Comenzulo ? 😊

Wrong. In any business there are only 10% of us that pull the weight of the rest of you. And we can easily find another job or strike out on our own start our own small business. The rest of you are easily replaced. I suggest taking action to becoming that top 10%. Make yourself valuable such that employers very much want to keep you happy.

I have 2 friend who got fired cuz they 'WFH' but play video game, workout, go shopping, take nap, walk dog, etc. etc. etc.

Now they live in mom basement while looking so long for new job! 🤣

The entitlement from some people is off the scales.
