    A whopping 80% of bosses regret their initial return-to-office decisions and say they would have approached their plans differently if they had a better understanding of what their employees wanted, according to new research from Envoy.

    See, it’s never their fault. Look how they’re trying to deflect it back to the employees. I would say employees definitely made their wishes known in regards to returning to work. These bosses and executives can fuck off.

      Oh no! It’s the consequences of my own actions! If only someone had told me I had to listen to what every single one of my employees had been telling me literally every chance they got.

      Yep, they didn’t care to listen. They’re only “sad” now because they can’t bully people.

      ROFL pretty sure there was like 10% of employees who wanted to return to work…most were middle management which realized their jobs relied on making sure people were at work.

        I (mostly) returned to working in the office as soon as I could. For a few months it was great; almost zero traffic, relatively few distractions while I worked, with all of the upsides and few downsides. And I’d see people once in a while, and catch up. It was great. Now with people being expected to come in more, traffic and distractions are way up, fueled in large part by people who would rather be working more from home.
