A noticeable shift is occurring in the corporate landscape as CEOs implement return-to-office mandates and enforce cost-cutting measures. This change suggests a decline in empathy for workers that was prevalent during the pandemic. Previously, employers showed an interest in the well-being of their employees, largely due to the pressures of the pandemic and social justice movements. However, now, major companies like Amazon, JPMorgan, Microsoft, and Meta are reversing this trend, prioritizing performance and company culture over employee welfare, thereby potentially signaling a return to traditional managerial control.
"We have this percentage of bosses that are sort of like, 'Oh, the pandemic is over. You had your fun being treated like humans. Now it's time to get back to work'".
"Amazon has said the move was about strengthening the company's culture, while JPMorgan has said it's the best way to run the company."
