mandated return to office programmes suck (and we now have a study to prove it)

Liked We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought by Gleb Tsipursky (Fortune)

Meanwhile, a staggering 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules, according to the Greenhouse report.

My turn to test: I’m wondering if posting from my Wordpress website, which is compatible with activitypub, works to post a comment to Lemmy. If that works, I’ll then have to figure out how to create a post in a community 🙂
