“Many companies are realizing they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making big, bold, very controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data,”

Same as it ever was. They're sad that people are telling them they're the dumbfucks they are, but it won't change how the operate. Period.

They like having little feifdoms where they have complete control, and the only reason they're upset with the Return-to-Office foibles is because they didn't realize they didn't actually own their employees, and their employees are totally able to fuck off to greener pastures. It's not about the employees, as usual. It's about losing employees who didn't put up with their bullying antics for the first time in fifty fucking years. They don't like it when people have options and can't be under their thumb. That's why these chucklefucks have sad faces.

Fucking sociopaths, every one.

good news - it's possible to fight back without leaving your current job. if you band together with your coworkers and bargain collectively, the petty tyrants won't have a choice but to accede to your demands - we don't need them but their companies will crumble without us. the reason they've gotten away with it for 50 years is because unions got gutted but it's high time for a change. you can make the difference at your workplace!

But organize with the IWW so you don't end up with one of those business unions that end up signing a "no strike" clause.

but having a petty tyrant make all the decisions is supposed to be the most efficient system ever

And they keep making it about innovation and how people can bounce ideas better in person when in reality you only get to decide if you want to sit or squat if they tell you to crap...
