My (current) employer rolled out a flexible work policy a year ago to be used upon a return to normal. The policy doesn't say it, but execs were saying "in the office one day a week." Recently it came down that we should disregard that. Apparently at the board level they were told to not be so restrictive. I'm really pessimistic about it. I think some people will almost never pop in the office and be fine while other managers will expect their employees to be in most of the time. Who's going to monitor if a manager is squeezing an employee out unfairly simply because they work remote 29 days a month? I can assure you, it's nobody. So to the bit I quoted, it won't be enough to pay lip service. Companies have to mean it.a job change because they weren’t satisfied with their options.
