The back-to-office backfire: Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent
(www.businessinsider.com)
I work in accounting which has some analogous characteristics to what you describe. The difference I see is that in the present, top talent is replaceable. And let's be honest. If it's replaceable today and we make our quarterly goals at the expense of some resignations, well, champagne all around!
Where the industry isn't looking is that they've created such a toxic environment, that the pipeline of students and young up and comers has dwindled to a trickle, putting the future of the industry in dire straits. We accounting parents are vehemently discouraging our children from considering this soul crushing career path.
But for today, goals were met, so break out the bubbly!
Myopia is going to kill everything.
