I work in sales management in the industrial/manufacturing sector in the US. I’m grateful to have been compensated for my work, and remote work is not new for me. However, my co-workers were offered work from home, they did a great job and we had record revenue/profits 2022. Now, all I hear is that WFH doesn’t work, people are goofing off, no “collaboration” etc. One glaring problem is the math doesn’t work, their math…
Yeah, Jane threw in a load of laundry in between her 6 and 7 thousandth spreadsheet this week. Yep, Beth played tennis over lunch instead of eating a hot pocket in her cube. Jimmy was able to get his 2nd grader off the bus, he worked until 6 and didn’t have to commute home, but this isn’t working.
Only in America, can you bust your ass, provide record profits after a pandemic, and then be told what you’re doing isn’t good enough.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
