  1. >“We’re different from other companies. We are more about what you do than where you do it. Your great work is what’s made Revolut successful”.

    A CEO that’s clued in and will very likely keep staff that are happy and happier staff will work harder, take less sick and ultimately make more revenue for him and the company

  5. What companies have ordered staff to return full time outside of Twitter?

  7. I wonder if the increasing trend of return to the office (if it continues) will end up hurting the Government? Some people who might be content to deal with commutes for one or two days a week might not be able to tolerate it on a daily basis, meaning more housing pressure again on major cities. Suddenly the housing crisis might have an additional sting for the Gov.

  8. I think my company mandate 2 on site. It was mentioned in a meeting once. Nobody is sure if it’s a week a month or quarter. Its one of those.

  9. Some recruiter reached out to me the other day with a job offer with significantly higher pay, but 5 days in office. I told him that he could offer to triple my salary and I would still tell him to F off. The market is global, the team is global but I’m forced to go to the office and waste 15-20 hours a week in traffic? Tells me everything about the management and their priorities.

  10. You gotta respect them for sticking to that. It’s genuinely disgraceful that people are being ordered to come back into work considering “most” remote workers generally don’t take the piss.

  11. There is not a single functional reason to return to working in offices to the extent we did pre-covid. Employers just want to justify the rent/mortgages they’re paying, and middle managers just want an excuse to act like they actually do anything. Resist!!!

  12. I work in an office and I haven’t worked a single day from home as I live 4km away. But I feel I could get more done at home without the office ‘chats’ that can sometimes go on for 50 mins!!

    And if anything happens to you out of blue e.g. you were out sick, you may have to answer the questions from colleagues like ‘are you better?’ ‘what happened?’ x 15.

    Nevermind all the times you bump into colleagues who want to give you a daily weather report; ‘it’s cold out’.

    Those of us in the office rely on the home workers to carry us. 🙂

  13. An absolute nightmare to work for, by all accounts. Pure chaos.

  14. I was talking to a lady who had worked in a big bank in Dublin city (not an Irish bank) and she said that home/blended working was in place pre-pandemic. But since the pandemic they have called them all in, so she left. Kinda the opposite to most workplaces who only brought it in aroud 2020.

  15. I think if you can do your work from home, then you should be able to. It’s eases traffic congestion and helps the environment, saves the worker valuable time and money. Companies that want workers back whose work can be done from home should be made to compensate the worker for commuting costs and time.

  17. That could be because they aren’t a property owning business. Google, Microsoft, etc have insanely big property portfolios worth in the billions. It becomes really difficult to justify having those building if they are empty.

  18. Revolut giving me yet another reason to switch all my current account stuff over to them completely, as I keep telling myself to do.

  19. Tech companies which give their employees full flexibility on their place of work (employee cab choose to work from home full time without any reprecussions or choose to come to office) with occasional meetups (once a month or less) will retain the best talent.

  20. Pinterest are the same (except sales which is 1 day per week)
