I don’t care what any of these telecommuting workers say. They do not work as much at home as they would have to actually at a workplace, period.
They will lose their best, keep their worst, and hire new diverse people.
Good luck.
managers who can’t evaluate employees based on results.
IBM just fired all their consultants and replaced them with India workers.
DIE.
What percentage of time do you think people are actually accomplishing things in person?
There are tools for monitoring output. I assume you are old.
“Ineffective Bowel Movement”
Maybe the new wave of people can come up with an even worse version of Lotus Notes.
This is all about the real estate.
It’s not about productivity.
In other words, IBM is looking to layoff some deadwood and it’s much better to have the deadwood either quit or be terminated for cause.
Honestly surprised it took this long.
Bean counters have to be screaming about the outlays they have on commercial real estate not being used.
They have to be getting beat up by various city, and state leaders who know those empty offices are destroying tax bases, and local economies.
Lol…
Notice what IBM is doing—ordering workers back to the office while closing offices!
Lol.
Morale is toast at this point.
Once your employees hate you the telework vs office debate is irrelevant.
Getting rid of a few layers of “Zoomers” won’t hurt the business. They will lose a few productive people but the majority are just placeholders.
Yep. CRE is going to blow up.
Yep!
They got rid of people who were irreplaceable and hired a bunch of Indians who were laid off from Intel.
If you were laid off from Intel and you live in India, you are NOT very good.
Not at IBM.
There are no placeholders at IBM on their design team.
They already laid off all the managers smart enough to measure remote work.
All that remain are brain-dead power freaks who want to hold endless DIE meetings.
