Study Shows Supervisors Say Remote Workers Are ‘More Easily Replaceable’ And They ‘Sometimes Forget’ About Them
A new study shows that supervisors do not hold remote workers in high regard. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that supervisors are not happy with remote work. They reported “negative perceptions” of the work-from-home trend. Managers said they’d prefer their staff to operate from an office setting. The managers who responded to the survey were brutally blunt. Nearly 70% replied that remote workers are “more easily replaceable than onsite workers.” About 62% contend that “full-time remote work is detrimental to employees’ career objectives and 72% say they would prefer all of their subordinates to be working in the office.”
California Congressman Mark Takano Introduces Legislation For A Four-Day Workweek
Democratic Congressman Mark Takano introduced legislation on Wednesday that would reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours. According to Takano’s press release about his proposed legislation, “A shorter workweek would benefit both employers and employees alike.” He pointed out, “Pilot programs run by governments and businesses across the globe have shown promising results, as productivity climbed and workers reported better work-life balance, less need to take sick days, heightened morale and lower childcare expenses because they had more time with their family and children.” Also Read: Congressman Mark Takano Talks About His Dream For A Four-Day Workweek
Google, Facebook And Twitter Are Delaying Their Return-To-Work Plans And Requiring Vaccinations Due To The Surge Of The Delta Variant
Last week, I wrote about a fourth wave of the Covid-19 virus that may force companies to reconsider their return-to-the-office plans. Unfortunately, this is happening at a much faster pace. Apple was one of the few tech companies reluctant to fully embrace remote work. Given its preference for in-office work, it was disconcerting that the iPhone giant announced it would delay its strict plans for workers to return to the office because of the sudden surge of the Delta variant.
Companies Are Giving Workers A Free Week Off To Improve Morale, Mental Health And Burnout
Two weeks is nothing. It’s over in a blink of an eye. It’s not nearly enough time to decompress and destress from 50 weeks of working. It’s no wonder why Americans are so tired, surly, angry and easily triggered—we’re burnt out from working so hard.
Working 9-To-5 Is An Antiquated Relic From The Past And Should Be Stopped Right Now
Since remote work has shown that it is beneficial for both workers and management, it makes sense to see what other standardly accepted practices need to be adjusted. Why is it necessary to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days a week, in a sterile cubicle farm with harsh fluorescent lights, little access to window views, sitting in uncomfortable chairs, poor ventilation and its either too hot or cold?
