They know, and don’t care. Because this quarter’s earnings went up by reducing expenses.
I agree that they don’t care, but how does return to work cost more?
It’s a soft layoff. They’re purposefully cutting workforce without taking on the liability of a layoff. What costs more is keeping those workers who leave because of RTO.
I’d rather get a new job than have to buy a whole-ass work wardrobe
Finding a new job is hard though, especially in tech. Most companies will under pay college grads or import workers.
I don’t even own a pair of shoes anymore, just two pairs of flip-flops. And yes, one is the ‘good pair’.
The workers who are very skilled know that they have options and can tell their current employer to shove it knowing they can pick up a different WFH job fairly easily.
This is some water is wet stuff. Tech places know they can grab the best talent from across the country or some decent local talent if they want the office thing.
Even more then that, if they change the deal on people like this, people who have options will be the first to leave. And the people who don’t, either because of a visa or lack of skill/confidence, will be the last to leave
They’re literally selecting against their most capable talents
