Yep, still true for Consulting workforce. It's the other organizations where it comes into play (GS, Finance, HR, CIO, etc.)
My POV. Publically traded companies care about EPS, increasing organic revenue and reducing expenses. They don't give 2 shits about employee career growth unless marketing it to employees is to their advantage. They will utilize remote/on-site work based on the company needs. They will market/manipulate the workplace location accordingly. Employees are considered an expense commodity. The employees who are executive resource material, maze-bright, smart enough to figure out how to succeed in their respective companies will utilize remote/on-site work accordingly. If you are not smart enuff to figure it out, you are an expendable commodity and will be utilized as such.
There's a lot of investing/monetary ideas that people were spouting off a year ago that I've for some reason not seen recently.
Well, it's again that special time of year where we reflect on our performance against priorities, our aspirations and growths actions. AKA the 39th circle of hell.
Buddies! Not for review, but because it's time for the annual "let's discuss this same project we've discussed the last 20 years that never goes anywhere" meetings. 39th circle of hell.
But of course. And I love it when I block time to work on it and then can't get in the right headspace. I hate it so much.
