So your saying it’s not appropriate to have a blanket rule for everyone demanding everyone work in the office 5 days a week…
False equivalency my arse. His job description is “make number go up”.
He could do his job from a small office next to the sales guy.
On what planet do you think defending the CEO will make a difference when your employer decides they need more control over your life?
I’m saying that many jobs require frequent travel. Software engineers will need to attend meetings in other offices, salespeople will be out with potential customers, customer success staff will embed in other offices, people at all levels and in all functions will need to travel. CEOs need to travel too; if you think the CEO of Amazon or similar sized businesses can do their job from a small office, I would wager you haven’t been very close to the demands of C-level in a business that size.
What makes you think I’m defending Amazon’s CEO to somehow protect my own future? I’m arguing that many jobs require travel, and that’s also the case for any CEO.
I personally work in a fully remote business that has never been anything but fully remote. I’ve made my bed and I’m laying in it very well thank you.
What does this have to do with the article and my comment?
Everything you are saying contradicts the CEOs position. My comment simply highlighted that his blanket rule would probably not apply to him.
Explain the false equivalency you are referring to because I have no idea who you are comparing.
Clearly you have been a little too close to these overpaid hacks, because you are clearly drinking their kool-Aid. Do you honestly believe this guy puts in an 8+ hour work day? Sure… CEOs are renowned for their work ethic. Please do continue to tell me how much more knowledgeable you are on this issue than I.
