Linked – Vast Majority of CEOs Ready to Make Remote Workers’ Lives As Miserable As Possible

The more things change, the more corporate management wants them to stay the same.

A recent report from the global research and accounting firm KPMG shows that 89 percent of corporate CEOs at US companies are willing to dangle incentives like “favorable assignments, raises, and promotions” for employees who head back to the office full-time.

For years, managers have been rewarding people for long hours, indicated by sitting in a chair at a desk longer than others. They’ve called it “dedication,” but there has never been any proof that they are doing more or better work. They just appeared to be hard-working.

After years of remote working successfully, they want to go back to rewarding people for nothing more than being in the office more than other employees.

That’s it. It’s how they’ve always done it, and they would like to return to that because it was easier.

Remote workforces require CEOs to develop measurements to tell who is getting work done and who isn’t. Apparently, for 89% of them, that’s too hard.

Reminder: They get paid, on average, 344 times the average worker but can’t be bothered to measure productivity meaningfully.

So, to the 11% who are not planning on this behavior, I hope you find the best talent on the market because you are not limited by who can be in the office and run circles around these dinosaurs.
