Dear J.T. & Dale: At the end of last year, my company announced that they would allow us to work remotely if we wanted to but might adjust positions. Then I heard they could lower pay, but still, I didn’t feel like going back into the office. Now they’re planning to demand a hybrid work schedule where everyone comes in three days a week.
DALE: The good news is that your management is clearly willing to alter their policies, and I think they will soon be changing them again. They might discover that they’re going to lose key employees and back off. But, more likely, there are almost certain to be more waves of COVID-19, and the company may need to jump back to remote work.
J.T.: The survey is from the folks at Employ, parent company to Jobvite and others, with help from the research firm Zogby. One of the things that caught my eye and confirmed what I’d been seeing in the workplace: 30% of new employees left their new employer in the first 90 days. Asked why, the respondents had various disappointments, the main one that the “day-to-day role was not as expected.”
