I have just been requested to commute three days a week 135 miles away each way from my home (I have not moved) to an office I was never required to attend before the pandemic starting end of September.

If anyone needs remote product/infrastructure/platform engineering or backend developer who has 15 years cloud deployment experience and data center to cloud migration experience, email me on [email protected].

@SusanPotter Boosted. Can I ask what the logic was? I assume it was a company-wide mandate because of ‘productivity’ or ‘culture.’…

The logic is that a bunch of wealthy CEO's decided the flex their power by forcing everyone back to the office for no reason.

@Mxhrad @SusanPotter Oh, I get that. I just want to know what justification they gave in this case. I’m arguing with executives weekly on how ‘going to the office’ as a measure of productivity is lazy management at this point. I’m very interested in the flawed arguments that are actually being enforced and killing companies taken pools.

@griff @SusanPotter

Most have no justification. It's just an order. Others say people are more productive in the office, when all data show the exact opposite.

@Mxhrad @griff @SusanPotter yip. Power over other people seems to be a main motivation for some managers.
