Return to work mandate is an attempt to outsource US jobs overseas
Pros
None at this present time.
Cons
When COVID struck, the company sold its headquarters in Tinton Falls, NJ, made everyone work from home, and assured employees they would not be required to return. However, within the past year, the company leased space in the same building and is now mandating that all New Jersey employees work in the office full time—despite commutes of one to two hours each way for many people. This shift feels less about collaboration and more like a strategy to push employees to resign, only to replace them with lower-cost overseas workers (e.g., India). What makes this even more disheartening is that the company is not struggling financially—quite the opposite. It has reported 12 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth, and its stock price has tripled in just two years.
