Why are companies restarting this shit?

Why al it companies want to bring thé employees back … Is that any reason ?? Moon lighting Gov asking companies to buring employees so blue collar jobs are recreated??? Any reasons???

The fully remote policy was a major factor in my decision to join. Now they're talking about mandatory in-office days. Has anyone successfully pushed back against changing work arrangements? What was your approach?

First, how is a BNPL company surviving? They are hiring. How is the culture there? Anyone knows?

Full fledged PPTs and Business Cases are being made for initiatives that will be forgotten about in 3 days, everyone trying to appear busy while adding no real value. Have seen this across multiple departments where people are spending full days doing god knows what. This activity becomes more frequent after first round of layoffs, post which people are trying to justify their jobs by doing essentially nothing.

All CEOs are echoing the working 14hrs a day thought of Narayan Murthy, claiming how the employees who don't devote their lives to their employers are parasites. If employees were to work 14 hours, why would they not start their own companies? But starting a new company now is extremely tougher than starting and raising tons of funds during zero interest rates. These lucky CEOs raised billions when there was free money and actually wouldn't be able to replicate their success or scale if they were building their companies now. We just want to eat good food and live comfortable lives, man! 8 hours a day is not benign, it is still a lot of time devoted for a fraction of the company's total earnings that mostly go to the executives. ZIRP CEOs should seriously keep their mouths shut!

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps". When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish. The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees. My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously

I understand that companies want to start new year with new energy. But doing it in the last working week of this year is just nuts. Let folks enjoy the year. Do it in Jan first/ second week. By doing now, you’re literally spoiling this year and the next. To founders out there: grow some spine, tell your investors you won’t do it now. I don’t think it’ll hurt your company much (I mean you’ve not done enough, and that’s the reason you’re in this mess, probably suck it up and wait for few more weeks) To the folks out there, who got impacted, my heart goes out to you all. Good luck. Market is tough, but I know you guys will make it.
