I always tell my kids I have no favorites. But companies sure seem to. In-person employees. If you’re a company that allows employees to be remote BUT you “punish” them by not paying equally You dont offer the same career paths You don’t promote remote employees at the same rate as in-office employees You’re creating a toxic and competitive culture. And not the good kind of competition. Why would you want to pit remote and hybrid/in-person employees against each other? If you allow choice, why are you punishing people for their choices you’re allowing them to make? If work is getting done, and WFH employees are bringing value, WHY aren’t they treated in the same exact way as their office peers? If you offer employees a choice, they should be treated equally. I appreciate the flexibility of WFH and hybrid. And in return my company gets a dedicated employee that cares about doing what it takes. Show your employees that care in return by treating ALL employees as equals. Be a good human. Lead well. #wfh #remotework #workingmom
Either offer choice and make it a fair environment for all OR have a RTO environment and stop trying to have employees compete against each other
Pssst…. This isn’t culture
To me being a remote employee at a time when it wasn’t common stalled my career but things have changed
If you allow choice, then be fair and equitable
Why are companies allow choice but then punishing?
I am one of the few who prefers coming in to the office, but I love that my coworkers have the option to work from home. We need it, we are better for it. Also please dont take my desk away, I love coming into work and my monitors/chairs/snack-pile are already set up. Surely there's enough room for choices for everyone?
Allowing WFH or from an alternate site increases the net for talent. As a manager who has always preferred to work from the office, I now manage remote teams and find it not as beneficial to be in the office than once was. There’s a lot to be said about the connection incidental conversation contributes to building culture, and I find that office based workers are less likely to burn out (because of the immediate support they can get from colleagues also in office if the culture is right). These can be achieved with remote workers too though, it’s just takes more consciousness to work towards this and trust. So having a team in the office is an easier way to manage. However, I find a blended approach currently the best method, some face to face time and some remote work gets the best results these days
and sadly...many companies are ignoring the data and forcing employees back to the office because of their sunk real estate costs, not considering employees well being, happiness, and more productivity. Keep up the good fight my friend and sharing these posts. They are inspirational, spot on, and relatable. 🙏
It is important to pretend that you do not have a favorite child. But your kids know you do, and they know which one it is. Ask my brothers and sister who is the favorite. They know. Your most outstanding witty and accomplished child is always the favorite.

4moWomen are benefiting from remote work in that more can be in the workforce, but the domestic hours still exist and now it’s another excuse not to pay equally
