If you feel that your boss is lying to you maybe you should leave but also your bosses don't owe you an explanation for their decisions. You don't know everything that they know and don't have the big picture, maybe some employees were slipping and HR advised them not to make exceptions. They're not going to tell you that Bobby, Bubba and the billing dept are declining they're just going to tell you what the new policy is. You are an employee, if you want to be in the know be the boss.

Plus drops in productivity are not always glaring and obvious to the people without all the numbers. In our case I started to see an increase in non billable hours and equipment usage, typically it was 4-6 hours per crew a week but it started to gradually increase to between 8 and 10 on average and when the total load for a crew is $200+ per our 3-4 additional hours that are not billable adds up across a fleet of 18. Invoice turn went from an average of 4 days to 6 doesn't sound like a big deal but when you deal with customers on a 60-75 day pay schedule from receipt and that invoice has to be in the system by the 10th a couple days makes a difference in cash flow. My people for the most part did great working from home but since returning to the office we're hitting our KPIs.

and you couldn't work that out without them being in the office? A phone call, series of emails, or even a meeting in person couldn't have set things straight? couldn't have established some sort of accountability without them being in the office? I have never stated that WFH was an excuse to do less work or lose money, just pointing it out that you seem to be falling into the category of what I am talking about. you can only manage what you see.

my team, and entire office, saw our productivity go up, saw our profit go up, we weren't missing deadlines. Still back to the office. and we weren't the only ones, it was an across industry movement with WFH. Incredibly frustrating to listen to your boss pat you on the back for the best profits our company had seen, but in the same speech tell everyone they have to come back because things aren't working. Which is it? Are we raking it in, or are their problems?

I never mandated everyone return to office. I started with 1 weekly in person staff meeting in leu of a zoom meeting and started doing more facetime calls instead of simple phone calls when I need to talk. From there people started staying that full day then trickling in on their own, they made their own decisions.

If you are that unhappy with your superiors leave. That is my advice.

Poll after poll and Americans are unhappy with the economy, so it doesn’t add up.

Well, just looking at things like the anticipated holiday hiring, revisions down every quarter, and where this supposed GDP bump came from (*cough*militaryspending*cough*) I guess you can keep burying your head in the sand. The leftist warmongers are cracking me up, too.

I lost value in my 401k and my small Roth in the 3rd quarter. This after losing about 28-30% in 2022. I had made up for some of that in 2023 before the 3rd quarter happened.

How many socialist are happy about it?
