| Companies finding it difficult to get staff back to work Even Apple being told to sling its hook Technology companies are finding it hard to get their staff back to the office after working from home for so long. Just last month Apple postponed its plan after more than 1,000 current and former employees signed an open letter called the plan inefficient, inflexible and a waste of time. "Stop treating us like school kids who need to be told when to be where and what homework to do," they wrote. It was yet more evidence of the shift in the balance of power between management and rank and file, as demand for workers has hit record highs in the past year. Companies are finding it hard to enforce unpopular policies and mandates when they fear their workers could just walk away. Google maps workers, who are employed by the tech company Cognizant, also decided to fight back. They connected with the Alphabet Workers Union and signed a petition citing COVID fears, the costs of commuting amid $5 gas, and the increase in productivity and morale that employees have experienced while working from home. "Our first day back to the Bothell office full-time will now be September 6," the company said in a statement released on Thursday. https://fudzilla.com/news/54969-comp...f-back-to-work |
