After the pandemic normalized remote work, some businesses struggle to revert to pre-pandemic norms. A Reddit user's tale highlights a major food delivery app's failed return-to-office policy that ignored employee expectations. While the remote team thrived, the leadership abruptly mandated a return to the office, affecting morale and decisions of remote workers, many of whom lived far from office locations. The abrupt shift led to significant employee dissatisfaction, highlighting the risks of ignoring modern workforce dynamics and employee rights in decision-making.
The return-to-office policy backfired as leadership overlooked employees’ shift in expectations for remote work, leading to significant team losses.
Operations ran smoothly with high morale during remote work, until the leadership abruptly demanded a return to office, causing unrest.
Many employees hired as remote workers were expected to move closer to company offices without assistance, triggering further dissatisfaction.
