Tech layoffs could push workers back to the office (opens in new tab)

I visited several offices that re-opened and it is the latter. The time and money wasted is amazing. The lesson's not learned.

I work for a software company who bought a giant new building a couple of years before the pandemic hit. They waited until the last possible minute to let us WFH once the pandemic hit, and then as soon as it got better they instituted a “hybrid” WFH policy - in office 3 days, WFH 2 days.

I don’t understand why. The 2 years we worked from home were the most profitable despite a worldwide pandemic going on, and I felt most productive WFH. We have been seeing a lot of turnover since this policy has gone into effect (last 2 months), more so than in previous years.

It sucks.

Yeah it's silly.

It's safe to skip the article as it doesn't bring anything special to the table.

All it is saying is that the recent wave of layoffs in the US, could make workers return to the office to secure a job.
