All it will ultimately do is create a talent split. Companies willing to embrace WFH will be able to snap up talent and companies forcing RTO will start to flounder over time.
… while high-profile banks like JPMorgan Chase and HSBC have started enforcing in-office policies, London-headquartered bank Standard Chartered is letting managers and individual employees decide how often workers are expected in the office. In July, Standard CEO Bill Winters told Bloomberg Television:
“We work with adults. The adults can have an adult conversation with other adults and decide how they’re going to best manage their team.”
The differing management methods come as numerous corporations have pointed to in-office work as driving collaboration, ideation, and, in some cases, revenue, while numerous studies point to RTO policies hurting employee morale and risking employee retention.
When Standard Chartered is who comes up with a humanist approach, you know you might be doing something wrong.
Wow … thorns in the wild! Any nonlinguist is going to have an issue not reading those as weird-looking Ps. But points for using both uppercase and lowercase correctly.
Yup, everything I see this in the wild it takes two reads to figure it out, especially since in my font the upper tail is barely there. I’m about ready to see if there’s an extension for Firefox thst will convert them back to th at this point.

You have no idea. Thorn makes a surprising number of people angry. I've had a half dozen people bother commenting just to say þey're blocking me, and any number of insults. Far more people asking variations of "what" or "why." Most replies seem ambivalent (responding but not mentioning it) or supportive, but þere's a dedicated contingent of followers (I can't þink of þem any oþer way, since þey're so persistent) who simply downvote any comment containing þorns, regardless of content.
Personally I noticed but don’t really care. I mostly consider it off topic to even bring it up, and I’m used to it enough at this point that reading it isn’t really that hard.
I don’t get the hate. Seems really pointless. It’s not that bad to read. Plus, it reminds me of Iceland (though I only transited through it unfortunately).

My manager lives nearly 1000 miles from me. I have coworkers anywhere from the other side of the continent to the other side of the world.
The fuck you want me in the office for? “Collaborative development”? Lol.
i used to manage equipment overseas.
needed to be in office though, so boss could micromanage my lunch break.
I have never met my manager in person. Going on 15 yrs. He manages, I do the work. All remotely. Works just fine for technical knowledge work.

And when line goes down, they’ll cry fowl insert Principal Skinner meme here.
B’GAWK!

Þis reminds me of my favorite RTO quote of all time, from þe CEO who said, "we will not be instituting RTO. I run a company, not a daycare."
