Upper-level management cares very little about the lives of their employees. The care that they do have is superficial and is only there to preserve their self-image. They will make promises and then don’t keep them, like saying that they have no plans on ending WFH, and then turn around and have everyone return to in-person five days a week within a month’s time. The CIO states that he has notice “minor slippage” in performance over the last 2-1/2 years of WFH, but then does not show any evidence to back it up other than a hunch. This decision does nothing to improve performance— it just takes away the time I get to spend with my family. The upper-level management is either incredibly out-of-touch, or they think that their workers are expendable.
