      Financials coming up too. Got to make it look like they’re ‘taking action’ on poor performance.

      I hate how inhumane money makes us.

      It’s odd too. A lot of places have offices in various cities too. So you can live in one city, and your team works in a different city or state. So their micromanaging isn’t possible since you’ll be at a completely different office. It just doesn’t make sense. So we enter the “quiet layoff” stages.

      Next headline will read, “Have companies started their own version of quiet quitting by forcing employees back to the office in an effort to get them to quit or he fired.”

      Nah. The managers prefer in-office and companies are addicted to “corporate culture” which they can’t control if you’re working from home.

      It has nothing to do with firing people (unless you want the most competent people to quit) nor does it have anything to do with real estate (no company will try to help fix a collective action problem voluntarily unless the attempt gives good PR or profits)
