The largest construction company in the USA abruptly cut off their hybrid home/office program
Good observation.
Think it’s possible they just haven’t found remote work to be effective?
Don’t get me wrong it’s a mixed bag so they’re cleaning out some non-contributors for sure, but they are clearly thinning the herd
Also… they gave folks a two week heads up- if it was only about effectiveness it would have been staged over a series of months.
Don’t get me wrong, remote work at a construction company doesn’t make sense at face value for the most part, not my style. But it’s a massive organization with a lot of revenue verticals including insurance, equipment procurement, engineering… it applies to all of them.
