Are Work from Home employees spoiled?

Companies need more Mr Wolfs. People telling workers to grow up and get their asses in gear and actually do the jobs they agreed to do without whining about it.

Yeah, these whining soy boy beta male pajama wearing stay at home workers need to get back to work--- like PRONTO!!!

 

[Bucky]

How awful of them.

The oldest Gen Zers are 20. So tell me where you got the date you used to draw that conclusion.

Look at criminals like Greta Thunberg or David Hogg.

Have fun with no staff. They all went across the street to work for someone less abusive, for more pay.

They didn’t even have to cross the street.

FedEx picked up their old laptop, monitor, headset - and delivered the new ones from the next company.

While waiting for Fed Ex, they took some files to the shredder and recycling bin and rearranged their home office.

Remember before the Great Retirement, when you had to put up with that kind of bullshit long enough to find another job?

Gen X to our future grandkids:

Back when we were kids, people had to *gasp* do several rounds of IN PERSON interviews and wear suits - black or navy blue. Then you had to wait to hear back - sometimes for weeks! And some employers didn’t even bother following up with the people they didn’t hire.

Are right wingers just a bunch of bootlickers?

If the job gets done it gets done, **** off with your "company culture" I'm working to pay the bills not for my boss to be my friend.

Looking more and more that way.

If you do not understand the culture, you do not understand basic human nature and psychology.

A company has to set its rules and standards.

You are fooling yourself if people just come to work to collect a paycheck.

Even your president Joe Biden has said this a million times:

"My dad used to say that a job is about a lot more than a paycheck, it’s about dignity and it’s about respect."

Being treated with respect and dignity is probably pretty high on the list of ways employees evaluate what company they want to work for.

It is an employees market.

It's about the work...why cant you acknowledge the "dignity and respect" of doing the work well and on time...wherever it's done?

Yes, they want to be treated with dignity and respect while they collect the paycheck. That includes respecting their personal time and home life, realizing that the job is not and never will be their first priority in life. Realizing that it is ludicrous to expect the same loyalty to the company and "grind" from the CEO and the guy taking out the garbage because the guy taking out the garbage simply isn't seeing the same sort of benefit of that effort.

You only have to see so many screenshots of managers demanding their employees come in on the day of their own ****ing wedding, or a parents' funeral, or their kid's birthday party before you realize that business culture in America sorely lacks this understanding.

But sure man. They're just spoiled. "Nobody wants to work anymore."

No, nobody wants to work ever. You think I get up at 3am to shuttle a plane full of boxes from one warehouse to another because it gives me fulfillment in life? I do it because they pay me a whole bunch of money to do it. I love flying planes, but if you handed me a billion dollars right now the company would never see my ass again. I'd fly when I want to, not when I need to. I'd fly for charity, and I'd fly for fun, and I'd spend the rest of my life doing whatever the hell I wanted to.

Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary says a 'new generation' of employee has never worked in an office—and it's totally transforming management

"People keep saying, ‘Oh, they’re gonna all come back.’ They’re not.”

According to the investor and Shark Tank star, that changes how companies and workers are managed.

“Over the last three years there’s a new generation of worker—particularly in financial services and in technology or in engineering—that has no intention of working in an office,” he told CNN on Friday. “They never have, they never will. People keep saying, ‘Oh, they’re gonna all come back.’ They’re not.”

He's right, and I don't agree with Mr. Wonderful on much these days, but he's correct on that front. If skilled employees are really skilled, then they will call the shots because companies will compete to get their talent. The ones that will take jobs demanding in-person work will be the less productive, less talented employees, and chances are, less loyal as well. They'll get hired, follow orders, and get raises by ghosting their employers for another company. Rinse, repeat.

I'd say probably 7 or 8 out of 10 companies have substandard management. They survive in spite of their corporate culture, not because of it.

Amazon employees are not happy about returning to the office 3 days a week: report

www.morningstar.com

mazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a blog post that 'people tend to be more engaged' when in-person.

Many of Amazon's "white-collar" employees are reportedly not happy about the company's new return-to-office plan.

A week after Amazon (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy outlined the company's latest return-to-office expectations in a blog post, workers are pushing back.

Over 14,000 Amazon employees reportedly joined a channel on the messaging platform Slack to share their displeasure about the new plan, according to a CNBC report.

Here's the thing. The talented employees know they're talented. They can get jobs at Microsoft, at Google, or at some company few people outside of DC or Seattle have ever heard of and be part of its startup story. The ones Amazon will end up with will be the less talented employees.

A few years down the line, Amazon realizes this, and then they decide to get some of those more talented employees who want at-home work back. They can get them, but they'll have to pay a lot more than they would have otherwise.

There are valid reasons for wanting employees to have more in-office time and for the record, I'm not for 100% at-home work generally speaking. There needs to be f-2-f collaboration on some level. I don't oppose returning to the office; I oppose mindless office policies, and I always have - and I'm speaking as a "do as your told, follow the company manual" Gen-Xer. I can only imagine how embittered Millennials and Gen-Zers are.

Amazon Employees Are Fighting on Slack About Returning to the Office

Amazon announced in mid-February it would ask its employees to come back to the office at least three days a week.

www.entrepreneur.com

Many employees fighting to return to the office have become fat, spoiled, and lazy.

Many employees did not have the luxury of working from home, even during the height of the pandemic.

Honestly, this results from a lot of poor long-term life planning. Who, for example, moved to Puerto Rico or Mexico City so they could work from home. Did they think it would last forever?

Remote advocacy is dumb. Suck it up, drive, or commute to work. You can no longer work from your bed wearing pajamas! You have to sit through traffic! Oh, God, the humanity!

The sad thing is we are in 2023! Many people returned to work in 2021 and 2022, and some still don't want to return now. That's some major entitlement.

If a company can have remote employees, they open up the amount of people in the labor pool. Not all jobs can be remote...but the ones that can be, should be. It saves on lots of things....fuel consumption, overhead costs, etc.

To be fair, if the employer is not requiring vaccinations and masks, employees should be able to stay home.

Today millennial male employees consider "abuse" to be required to be on time for work, ready to work, and not be allowed to play with their smarty phones all day, or bring their dog to work with them. Yeah, I don't need employees like that, they can apply to Starbucks and Google.

Right now I'm having a house built, and today I was overseeing my general contractor's crew hoisting the new trusses and completing the framing. Yep no soy boys on that crew. I wonder how many 30 year old "men" today even know which end of a framing a hammer is the working end, or a jack a stud from a king stud from a cripple stud? I'll bet most think a "header" is some "favor" they get from a friend LOL!

No thanks. If they feel "abused" then don't let the door hit them in the rear on the way out.
