Of employers who forced staff back to the office, 42% said "attrition" was higher than normal, 21% said the move had actually lost them some of their "key" staff. 29% were now "struggling" to recruit altogether. Ha ha ha. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/29/wfh_rto_survey/
Bosses face losing 'key' workers after forcing a return to office

Survey says most would prefer a gentle request

And I'll bet that, once again, all the MBAs are *stunned* by those numbers

In my social circle only older employees (men > 60) rejoyce at going back to 100% on-site. The rest demands between 4-5 home office days per week and is prepared to leave the company if their employers should be stupid enough to force them back onsite full time. Meanwhile nobody I know willingly applies for jobs that demand 100% on-site because they are as old-fashioned as VHS tape in the IT sector. #Employers need to grow up and let go of the past.

@doncish @rpluim @brucelawson After being laid off, I ignored any jobs that required 3 or more days "hybrid". Let the "market" teach them.

@davidgerard @doncish @rpluim @brucelawson In 15 years working from home at the last job, I went to the office once, to get my security badge replaced when it expired. Just in case I needed to go to the office a second time. (I never did.)

@doncish @rpluim @brucelawson for the record I am 61 and enjoy working from home 5 days a week. I would never accept another dev gig if I the requirement was to be on-site.

@olddev I'm not quite as venerable but same: I've been working from home for 15 years and have no intention of changing that now. @doncish @rpluim
