Ottawa’s city manager says improving workplace culture was the key driver behind a decision to end hybrid work for municipal employees, amid criticism from the union and some city councillors who say the decision was “politically motived.”
![]That is insultingly stupid
Sutcliffe can suck an egg
Hey same bullshit reason my CEO used until he realized 80% of IT would quit without at least a generous hybrid schedule.
Relationship building in this city = the contents of your wallet --> someone else’s
“Improving workplace culture” is just an excuse for “I’m too lazy to learn more ways or adopt new ways to get to know other people and will just stick to what I know from school, where we’re all forced to be with and see each other.”
Too bad there’s no evidence supporting the claim outside of the imagination of ignorant managers
Unless of course the culture they want to maintain is one of oppression and authoritarian hierarchical control
They don’t like remote work because they gambled on expensive office parks and have to worry about written or audio recordings when they try to coerce working staff, if this change can be forced they need a better union
