Advice to Management

One of the main perks of this job has always been flexibility (i.e., working from home once a week), and now management is trying to force everyone to come into run-down offices that are mostly empty after all the layoffs, for the sake of "project collaboration." Leave people alone if they are doing their job.

I appreciate trimming the fat and holding low performers accountable (which has not happened in the past), but extreme cuts are causing unreasonable workloads that are not helped by crappy systems. Backfill with better talent and get systems that are not so outdated and difficult to use.
