But then you can’t fire them and not have to call it a re org.

Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they’ve lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.
That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven’t seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.
Hard to say, you could be right. That’s where I’m less sure. I’ve had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.
The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn’t hand me work and I eventually would leave.
One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I’d have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.
What I’m saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.
So I’ve worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.
They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don’t do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.
Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn’t improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.
So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.
It’s behind a pay wall, however based on the summary, I’m assuming no one brought up that it’s costs an average of $2,600 (per Zumper) for rent downtown and that may be causing issues with not wanting to commute 60+ minutes downtown (per Science Direct on Commuting Times and depressive symptoms in Korea it increases depression)? Or that there’s a ton of Condos for sale that are small and cost a mint to buy?
If thats the case, then the interviews shown don’t seem to be addressing the cause of the issue: it costs a lot to live in downtown Toronto and the median average pay is $69k/yr, per stats canada in 2022, which if we use the 30% rule for rent, means average rent should be $1,725. Now that rule may be outdated, or requires you to live with someone, in your tiny 700 Sq. Ft. Place, and there’s no rent control anymore, so prices can now jump and you have to move? Which is more time spent doing things you hate and having less money? Or that it costs a lot for lunch when you commute unless you dedicate time to meal plan on half a day on the two days you take off during the week? And all of that to have to dress up for work (yay, more costs!) and be interrupted at work, or be guilted into staying later because the boss doesn’t think you achieved anything because you leave at a normal time (that’s anecdotal for me, im just ranting now)
Man I’m frustrated by these articles. Maybe the people who keep bribing our politicians should use some of that money to convince them to make downtown liveable so their office properties keep their value rather then acting like all us workers should just suck it up and come in to help their portfolios.
So I have two Chromecasts, and this sucks, didn’t really want to replace them eith boxes (once they die). What viable replacements are there?
