Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this.
Now after a bunch of companies want their remote workers back at the office, every one of those companies are being almost propaganda machines which do not cite sound scientific studies but cite each other and interviews with higher ups in top companies that “remote workers are less productive”. This is further cementing the general public’s opinion on this matter.
And research that shows the opposite is buried deep within any search results.
Have you noticed this? Please share what you have observed. I’m going paranoid about this.
The concept of quiet quitting always struck me as bullshit in general. Like if your employees can do that, if they’re able to just sort of log in and barely do anything, then they should. That’s the manager’s fault and responsibility to keep employees engaged or demand more from them. If the minimum amount of work isn’t enough for the manager, then it isn’t really the minimum, right?
