In reply to Mr.BD. Yep. That's pretty much what I said BD. If employers want to attract and keep good workers they're going to have to bend OR as you said, they will "lose a lot of good talent."

The problem is a lot of employers are stuck in a old way of thinking and do not want to change. Also like DJ said they built all these new offices and want to get their moneys worth out of using them. But if the refuse to change they are going to lose a lot of good talent.

Yes indeed, I am certainly among the employees who got used to working mostly from home so I do understand.

However, in my new position, the hybrid work schedule works best for me (3 days in the office and 2 days flex). Thankfully, my staff is fine with the hybrid work schedule as well (3 days in the office, 2 days flex).

It’s come down to this – IF employers want to attract and keep good workers there’s going to have be some bending (if you will). I applaud Apple CEO Tim Cook for being willing to do just that. But he’s a rarity. Most CEOs are still living in the past. It’s going to take them awhile to truly understand they don’t have as much power/leverage over their workforce as they used to Pre-Covid.
