Our last employee surveys showed massive declines across the board. We had been doing them quarterly but this week it came out that they are just going to do them once a year. Don't like the results? Just ask for them less.
Pretty sure my company didnt even release the results last year …. must have been real bad.

Same with ours. Took it in September of 2023.

Just got notice from Uncle John D we all have to return to the office for a minimum of 4 days a week starting March 4th. I can't wait to go into the office in Waterloo so I can spend 6 hours a day on the phone with my team that sits in Fargo, Des Moines, Moline, Dubuque, Cary, Mannheim and Pune. That seems like productivity and collaborative accomplishments are going to skyrocket.

I assume mannheim is Germany but where is Pune?

Just saw this from somebody (I don't work there)...

John Deere just announced RTO policy for all employees 4 days a week, effective March 4th.

Once someone got the ball rolling, they were all going this way, weren't they?
Yeah, in my mind it was always inevitable for the big companies. They were just waiting for the market to shift where workers no longer held all the leverage - which they did for the past 3 years. That has changed in part because of cost cutting, layoffs, and general working environment. Leverage isn't fully back to the company side, but it's moved enough.

Just saw a Principal commercial with Jon Calipari.
I guess business can't be too bad.
