We were doing great with a large number of people working from home. We've been home since COVID hit in early 2022. We supposedly had one of the best years on record in 2022. Without warning, the CEO emailed the company saying we were transitioning to a "hybrid" model where everyone is in the office 3 days a week. The company stated this was to allow greater in person collaboration. However, we have yet to see any data that suggests this was needed. In addition, we keep getting messages telling us how "flexible" the new hybrid model will be. I'm not sure what measuring stick management is using to determine their definition of flexible. If 60% of the work days are mandated in the office, that's a heckuva lot less flexible than 100% WFH. In addition, the CEO told the company when he was brought into the position in May that WFH was "here to stay". Now, he's changed his mind. We've hired a great number of people that only joined the company because they were allowed WFH. They are now out of luck. The company doesn't care. It seems that senior management is willing to lose them. I've already had one member of my team leave. More will follow. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone out there looking for a job. The future is uncertain and there is a lack of trust in the CEO/Senior Management to do the right things. It's very sad that a good company like this could be taken down so quickly by a bad leader.
