I want to try a new challenge but I have a hard time finding a corporation that does this. There is always annoying cringey slogans about “collaboration”.
I have built large gaming communities. Hosted servers and worked with other people all over the planet. But some execs just want ass in the seats.
The metrics of performance and delivery were somewhat public and people pointed out that performance had increased due to a lack of distractions and interruptions.
The high leadership said the numbers meant nothing and people should return immediately. I will come back to this point.
Many many people did not comply with basic health requirements like using alcohol frequently nor using face masks. One specific case was a "tech lead" who was infected with COVID but only used an open face shield without a mask. He went to the office even being sick and he got at least 5 cases that could be directly attributed to him.
One of my team mates complained because to me and as lead for that team I tried to mitigate the problem.
To make the story short, the face shield guy was praised by higher ranks and I was reprehended to stay with my team mate.
I left the company about one year ago but my team mate stayed.
Recently the company used the same numbers to layoff 25% of people due to poor performance.
I am glad to say that one person had a video of the executive saying that the numbers meant nothing and used that to win a legal dispute with the company. All dismissed employees have received 1 year of salary and had all benefits extended for that period.
Not the best solution I assume but better than nothing
