As increasing vaccinations make returning to the office a reality, tensions between workers and managers are rising about what that should look like. While Google, Twitter and Microsoft have embraced flexible and remote work, the heads of JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have expressed frustration with it, as did the CEO of Washingtonian magazine in a Washington Post opinion piece that sparked a strong reaction from employees.
Most executives and workers say they prefer a mix of remote and in-person work, said Bhushan Sethi with business services firm PwC. But, “we are seeing a disconnect in terms of what executives, employers are looking for versus employees,” Sethi said.
PwC surveys found leaders favored more frequent office time sooner than workers did. Sethi said many top managers want to strengthen company culture and collaboration with in-person interactions.
