There is increasing buzz about the end of the remote working arrangement in some companies. Since the vaccination rates are increasing in the US, employers are discussing the strategy to start getting people back to work in person.
It has been over a year and few months since most of the non-essential people had to experience commuting to work. Now the idea of waking up early in the morning and rushing to kill time sitting in traffic both ways feels very archaic. COVID has demonstrated that being physically present is completely not necessary at the scale that it was enforced pre-COVID.
I wonder why many old fashioned companies are against remote work. Besides being against change, it seems like a form of control or power move to keep enforcing something that doesn't help with employee engagement.
In most old companies, the CEO and high level executives are mostly older people from another generation. The idea of work from home may not make sense. The idea that having a clock in and clock out determines the quality of work done seems like a tradition that should have died with the last century.
