This non sequitur was the point at which I suddenly felt my suspicions of the writer being full of shit completely validated.
Ha, had the exact same "huh, wait what?" Moment.
If we want to recruit and maintain the best while underpaying them and reducing physical overhead, remote work seems ideal.
entire piece sounded like "sponsored by Liberal Party of Canada"... RTO mandate is idiotic as issue of "under-performance" is largely a management issue and not an employee issue. In other words it's a free admission that management is clueless and has no idea how to harness remote to it's full potential.
Yes, although Carney has a free hand to admit that management is incompetent because it’s a management he inherited from Trudeau’s government, not one he hired himself. Carney worked at Goldman Sachs which has an infamous ultra competitive work culture. I could see him being annoyed with any manager as laid back as Trudeau was as PM.
'Lag'. That's funny. One of my day contracts is to a gov entity, and it's 100% remote work. They CAN'T go back, as their workforce spread out so far (hint: low rent but great internet) that a RTO means 30% loss of workforce if everyone who can actually returns. There's no desks. There's no equipment because everyone uses their much-better stuff that hasn't died since CoViD. They can't outfit staff.
It's comedy.
