We're back to this "can't manage people of not in the office/"collaboration" shit. I, like others at my company, was hired remote. Post-pandemic, some idjits got this mindset of "hubs" (I work IT) for "collaboration" shit. Some originally hired remote (I have paperwork stating this and I am no where near a "hub"
question why s/he has to drive to a "hub" when NONE of his/her co-workers are at the "hub". We've been understaffed for years (tough to find people with experience in the software we run). And we've lost people due to the "hub" as well as pay. Have to say I'm a bit impressed management in my area has woke up and smelled the coffee - not good when supporting your core system is taking a hit. There are A LOT of people that work in my area who have been with my employer for decades and can retire tomorrow if s/he wishes. I hit the magic number a couple of months ago. We have people who retired and are now working PT, I had already talked to an "upper management" person in my department re: working less days a week versus flat out retiring. Management person was okay with that. I can afford a year of COBRA between age 64 and 65 if need be. I will work FT until I am 64 (in a few months). Once their one size fits all even when it does not support software change happens, I will surely working less than FT if not retired. I've lived below my means most of my life. And I doubt a nice, white male will be replacing me. Likely female or a citizen minority. F-U magats.
