They find people to do the job. There is always a butt for every seat.
If the young’uns dont like it then they are free to leave.
Something thats needed these days is the understanding that you are
replaceable. Someone will show up and and do the job.
High turn over means nothing. The company will survive like always.
And with that off to ignore list ya go. You bore me.
Yeah you probably should before I correct you about this latest post. It must be hard to be that sensitive about your strong beliefs. Protect yourself!
Interesting thing about remote work… it saves the company money & has proven to make workers more efficient.
Bad thing is cities are losing money (less shoppers support businesses, loss of income due to less property taxes being paid, etc…) so that changed the narrative & helped force workers back to the office.
BFA was considerably more well kept than SL, and pre-wfh CoDs actually got mostly positive reviews.
It’s not just about quality, SL was barely updated.
people like that aren’t a plus to an organization - he probably should just quit himself.
So its a good thing that you get to stay home and those who have businesses and employees in cities lose it all?
Imagine the fall out from cities losing revenue and not able to pay for infrastructure and employee salaries. Imagine the cut backs schools will have to make with lower budgets.
I mean stay home and let it all crumble right?
I am private sector, and my wife is a provincial health employee. She was WFH day one of the pandemic, while I worked out in my office every day. I have seen productive days on her end, and not-productive days (though other stuff got done around the house or on her errand list). So I can imagine it went both ways while WFH for any employee.
But if your husband is watching the clock and causing himself to work less… well thats not an employer issue. Over the summer, Im sure attitudes will simmer and office routines will come back.
show me the proof it makes workers more efficient in terms of productivity for the employer? sure it is more efficient for the employee since you can do your house work during work hours, i.e. laundry but after a few years employees tend to start doing more and more of their work instead of the employers work during work hours.
This right here, this general attitude towards employees (or just people in general), is why employees in pretty much all fields have stopped putting in extra work and going beyond what’s written out in their job description wherever employers treat them like easily replaceable slabs of meat.
He was hired in as WFH though.
The minute I saw pronouns in bio, and a certain flag emoji…
Let’s just say, I have doubts…
Fair, thats different than whats happening at Blizzard then. Contracts are key, and its in these Dev’s contracts to be working in the office. If any of the WFH blizz employees were hired the same as your husband, with that condition in their contract, this story will take a big left turn.
Maybe if that office “manager” worked instead of watching his employees all day and applying micro managing techniques that have been proven to lead to an unhealthy office environment, a lack of motivation, and burn out things would be better.
This is relevant to Blizzard how? They don’t work on CoD lol. Wanna throw in how Candy Crush is doing as well?
It’s ABK as a whole ending WFH, you realize it’s all the same company right?
Show this guy the door and wish him well.
That probably won’t be necessary.
If he made that post I promise you he already has a better WFH job lined up with higher pay.
My family owns and manages several commercial towers in Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa and quite a few clients chose not to renew their leases or won’t renew them when they’re up again because of the shift to remote work. Fewer on-site workers means a lower demand for space. It’s hard on the bottom line for sure, but I can’t fault people wanting to save money and finding better arrangements.
Interestingly enough though, we found new tenants pretty quickly (never mind that the towers themselves were in prime commercial spaces).
You realize that different subsidiaries of the parent company make the games, right? And that Blizzard Entertainment doesn’t work on CoD, right?
Definitely an assumption with nothing to back it up there. If it’s true then he’s shooting himself in the foot by not moving on already.
