I don't know anything about engineering. My point wasn't about engineers. My point was about how dumb it is to decide on some universal opinion on remote work. And people are right now losing their jobs because of that stupidity.
Yes, I agree 100%. Also, companies are going to lose good people who decide to leave. We're seeing that. I actually and perhaps naively thought the workplace was going to improve on the basis of how successful partially working from home had been during the lockdown. There was all this stuff being said about work-life balance, but once again it's shown to be just talk. I think far too much of it is actually about control, when it should be about treating people who are willing to act like adults accordingly, and maybe deal with those who aren't individually, rather than with blanket return-to-work policies.
I could go on, but I'm always a little aware that I don't know who's reading this.

I never expected or wanted the company to balance my life. That was none of their business.
I knew the job was a death march when I signed up. That's what I wanted.
I know a lot of people wouldn't want to work in an environment like that. No problem.
I think the best way to not allow the company to have control of your life is to keep work and not-work separate. It is just none of their business, I'll run the outside life myself.

There’s less work life balance than when I started doing the job. It used to be when you were at home or working on site somewhere that nobody bothered you because they couldn’t. Now there’s no escape from the incessant bullshit.

Starting in May, Dell employees who are fully remote will not be eligible for promotion, Business Insider (BI) reported Saturday. The upcoming policy update represents a dramatic reversal from Dell's prior stance on work from home (WFH), which included CEO Michael Dell saying: "If you are counting on forced hours spent in a traditional office to create collaboration and provide a feeling of belonging within your organization, you’re doing it wrong."
Dell employees will mostly all be considered "remote" or "hybrid" starting in May, BI reported. Hybrid workers have to come into the office at least 39 days per quarter, Dell confirmed to Ars Technica, which equates to approximately three times a week. Those who would prefer to never commute to an office will not "be considered for promotion, or be able to change roles," BI reported.

You think you want promotions until you get them. Then you fully realized be careful what you wish for. I am good at management and project management, but I don't enjoy it like I do having my hands in the tech.

If I had my time again I'd definitely have stuck with the job I was really good at and actually quite enjoyed. I got promoted after a year here, and didn't know enough to realise what was going to be involved.

Wells Fargo has conducted a rash of sackings in recent weeks after claims some of its employees were faking keyboard activity to fool the firm into thinking they were working.
America's third largest bank disclosed the decisions in broker filings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra).
The firm did not respond to questions about how the alleged issue was discovered, or whether it was related to remote work.
New rules came into effect in the US this month that mean offices that brokers are using to work from home need to be inspected every three years.
