End of an era: Zoom tells employees to return to office for work::Zoom is asking all of its employees to return to the office for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, when the tech company blew up as one of the main means of communication when people were forced to work from home.
I’m a simple man… I see “NY Post,” I click the downvote button.
Simple mind indeed, dont bother reading and analyzing the contents, just give up
The same content is available elsewhere.
The NY Post is garbage.
No-one’s obligated to read trash. I don’t read other tabloids in case they might have a point.
Get this shitty rag out of here. NYPost is fucking propaganda spreading filth
Calling it “end of an era” as if remote work is over, no matter how interest remains among workers and companies still offer it, is definitely a propaganda move.
That’s good ☺️

Pretty bad optics when your company depends on enabling collaboration in virtual settings.

This is what is referred to as a “backdoor” or “quite” layoff.
They know there are people who either can’t come in or who will refuse to come in. By getting people to trim themselves from their books, they get to cut costs without actually having to do layoffs.
This is the first step of modern cost cutting. Next we will hear about other cost cutting measures, and then eventually layoffs.

Exactly this. My previous employer announced an end to wfm followed shortly by some people I knew getting warned that they may be laid off. But enough people quit that nobody got laid off.

I have hopes that this creates a lower barrier to entry to tech markets in a short run.
There will be a lot of talent, a lot of which is quite financially secure, that would MUCH rather continue remote than work in office.

Also known as “constructive dismissal” in many cases as well, especially if people were hired on as full-time WFH
