The return to the office movement has highlighted the disconnect between executives, managers and their employees. The supervisors want everyone to come back to their offices. Meanwhile, employees are perfectly happy working remotely.
She added, “If it’s not fun and it’s not social and you don’t get all the joy out of it, it’s really hard to think coming back to the office is a good thing. You just feel like it’s a chore then, so you have to work extra hard as a manager to help engage your team and figure out what makes them happy when they’re in the workplace.”
Employees self-reported that they are more than four times more likely than executives to want to work remotely full time. Despite their preference, the majority of executives are building return-to-the-office plans that favor the perspective of the C-suite over what employees say works best for them.
Executives may be oblivious, living and working in their own bubble. They have a better setup at work, including large offices outfitted with the best technology and people to keep things running for them. There isn’t a big worry over childcare and long commutes. In the office, they are somebody. They wield power and clout. People have to pay attention to them. They can bark orders and people jump to their whims. This doesn’t happen at home.
The managers who responded to the survey were brutally transparent. 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.”
