Deutsche Bank pone sobre la mesa un impuesto del 5% para el teletrabajo que pagarían los empleados
..... dar el pasito de confiar que el currito seguiría trabajando sin supervisión constante.
esta claro que se impone una renovacion de cargos intermedios
Tom Wolfe zarandeaba en 'La década del yo' a los narcisistas que “elevan un status ordinario a la categoría de drama”. Anticipaba sin duda a los teletrabajadores, que plantean su sórdido cometido como si cada día escalaran el Everest por la vertiente equivocada. Ejercen una acusada fascinación sobre los periodistas, así que sigo con singular fruición la infinidad de declaraciones de los practicantes de este teledeporte de alto riesgo, y todavía tengo que encontrar al primer devoto del teletrabajo que confiese la obviedad de que trabaja menos que cuando se desplazaba a la oficina siniestra.La coincidencia de que los teletrabajadores cada vez trabajen más, y de que se multiplique el número de candidatos al teletrabajo, debería despertar alguna suspicacia entre los periodistas avezados. Al contrario, cada nueva pieza mediática traduce la fascinación del entrevistador ante la tarea hercúlea que acomete el héroe urbano que ha aposentado un ordenador en el salón. Cuando el espectador identifica a los empleados domiciliarios, advierte que no se trata precisamente de los que pasaban más tiempo en la oficina , por lo que el regreso al hogar debe haberles despertado un súbito arrebato vocacional.Los exaltadores de la farsa del teletrabajo suelen coincidir con quienes piensan que Biden es el remedio contra Trump. Por tanto, están acostumbrados a hurtar evidencias, como la inevitable desaparición en la distancia del concepto de empresa en común, o el cálculo de cuántos trabajadores reales exige cada teletrabajador, o la injusticia de que los incautos que persisten en la oficina deberán suplir las carencias de los ausentes tan a menudo ilocalizables. Sundar Pichai es el sumo ejecutivo de Google, una compañía que debería convertirle en portaestandarte del trabajo virtual. Sin embargo, el tecnólogo recuerda que esta variedad propiciada por la pandemia solo es posible porque antes hubo una interacción presencial de los equipos, y que el alejamiento disolvente debe abreviarse al máximo. Qué sabrá.
Lo siento pero el autor creo que no tiene ni idea de lo que escribe, aún más, rezuma el sentimiento amargado de los que les toca el teletrabajo forzado y no pueden lucirse en la oficina perdiendo el tiempo muchas horas delante de los jefes... yo llevo más de 15 años teletrabajando varios días por semana y doy fe de que se trabaja más y mejor. Entiendo que hay determinados colectivos que echan de menos la vidilla social en la oficina (solterones, divorciados, ...) pero a los que tenemos obligaciones familiares y / o queremos disfrutar de más tiempo para nuestra vida personal el teletrabajo (especialmente si es voluntario) es una bendición.... qué dure¡¡
Cobrar el doble por teletrabajar: esto es lo que viene, y no estás preparadoLa deslocalización de fábricas va a parecer una anécdota comparada con el impacto global del teletrabajo. Este no está determinado por el dónde, sino por el cómo[...]La productividad de las tecnológicas no se ha visto afectada, porque sus trabajadores ya estaban teletrabajando sin saberlo desde hace años aunque estuviesen en sus oficinas, rodeados de compañeros. Y es que teletrabajar no está determinado por el dónde, sino por el cómo.Por el contrario, muchas organizaciones 'presencialistas' se han visto forzadas a teletrabajar y el resultado ha sido desastroso. Videoconferencias continuas, chats a deshoras, desplome de la productividad… El teletrabajo solo funciona bien cuando las videollamadas se reducen al mínimo, cuando la comunicación evita las interrupciones continuas vía chat o teléfono y cuando un equipo es capaz de comunicarse de manera brillante por escrito.[...]Y esta es la clave. El debate actual está en las implicaciones directas e inmediatas del teletrabajo, pero no presta atención a las indirectas y estructurales. ¿Qué sentido tiene una vivienda cara o pequeña en una gran ciudad que solo fue escogida por un trabajo? ¿Qué sentido tiene una vida social organizada en torno a los compañeros de trabajo cuando ya no hay lugar de encuentro? ¿Qué sentido tiene medir la productividad por horas y no por objetivos?[...]https://blogs.elconfidencial.com/tecnologia/tribuna/2020-12-30/teletrabajo-eeuu-pandemia-coronavirus-software-ingenieros_2890043/

Storefronts are papered over with for-lease signs and light streams through vacant floors of glass office towers.The capital city’s main business district has long relied on the steady work of governing to survive economic downturns. Now it remains strangely desolate and depopulated long after pandemic lockdowns ended.That’s because federal employees, who account for one-in-three downtown jobs, embraced working from home and many don’t want to go back. The resulting clash over bureaucrats’ telework has thrust a workplace conflict simmering in businesses across the country into the political sphere and forged an unusual alliance, as Republican congressional critics and Washington’s Democratic mayor demand a faster return to office.“As the rest of America went back to work in person, many federal workers did not,” Representative James Comer declared on the House floor. “The American people have suffered as a result.”The Kentucky Republican blames the telework for customer service horror stories involving the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration and veterans’ records. The agencies acknowledge struggles — callers to the Social Security help line waited an average of nearly 40 minutes for an answer in January — but say they are making progress and blame staffing shortages and the pandemic, not employees working from home, for the problems.It’s not clear from available data whether federal office workers are teleworking at higher rates than their private-sector counterparts. The US Office of Personnel Management says 47% of the government’s roughly 2 million civilian employees across the country were teleworking in 2021 but it doesn’t have a more up-to-date figure. This week it ordered agencies to begin tracking the data in payroll reports.A newly empowered GOP leadership has trumpeted the issue, which plays to resentments of blue-collar constituents who mostly don’t get the chance to do their jobs from home. The SHOW UP Act to force civil servants to work from their offices was one of the first bills passed by the House this year, though the Democratic-led Senate is unlikely to take it up. The oversight committee Comer chairs is pressing the issue in hearings, including one Thursday in which members peppered the federal government’s chief personnel officer with questions.CitarIt’s not just Republicans. Washington’s Democratic mayor, Muriel Bowser, in January used her third-term inaugural address to call for “decisive action” from the Biden administration to bring “most federal workers back to the office most of the time.” Other big city leaders, such as New York’s Eric Adams, have urged employers to bring their workers back to counter swelling office vacancy rates. The nature of working for the taxpayers, however, places an extra burden on the the public-employee unions to justify telework as they fight return-to-office orders, such as a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation policy requiring full-time workers to come into the office at least once every two weeks.Jacqueline Simon, policy director for the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union representing federal workers, said remote work in many cases has been “an incredible success story” and civil servants shouldn’t be forced into the office for political reasons or to boost sales of local retailers.“The federal government doesn’t exist to provide business to downtown restaurants,” Simon said. “It exists to provide services to the American people.”[...] (el diagrama del twit de arriba)Citar‘There Was No One Coming In’Such rhetoric lands with a clang in Washington’s downtown, where bureaucrats’ low attendance reverberates through the private sector lawyers, lobbyists and contractors whose job is to influence or do business with the government. The lack of office workers is bleeding the life out of establishments like the 84-year-old Bensons Jewelers, a blue-canopied shop on a formerly busy retail strip just blocks from the White House.“I’m done. I just can’t do it anymore,” said owner Ken Stein, leaning against an emptied display case during one of his last days on the property before he shut it down. “There was no one coming in. Just literally this one block, there’s eight stores that are gone, just so much is boarded.”No one is quite sure how many federal workers are working remotely. National surveys conducted by the Census Bureau in early February concluded that 38% of all public and private employees were exclusively working remotely but didn’t break out government jobs. The figure was identical for workers in the Washington metro area, where one-quarter are employed by the US government, a sign that the federal workforce isn’t far out of sync with private employees.CitarRelated story: Remote Work Is Costing Manhattan More Than $12 Billion a YearDecisions on remote work are left to individual agencies and “are just one factor agencies consider as they work to improve efficiency and effectiveness, compete for talent in the labor market, and streamline key public services,” Office of Management and Budget spokeswoman Isabel Aldunate said in an emailed statement.Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate firm, compiled keycard data from the General Services Administration and concluded that only 5% of the prepandemic federal workforce had swiped-in to a government-leased office on an average workday in October and November. That doesn’t include government-owned buildings or office space outside the Washington metro area. It’s also not representative of many federal employees across the country such as airport security screeners, meat inspectors, veterans’ hospital nurses or others whose work can’t be done from home. “Until some more vocal leadership within the federal government compels these workers to come back into the office, the fiscal stability of the District of Columbia could be at risk,” said Nathan Edwards, a senior director at Cushman & Wakefield responsible for Washington DC metro research.The GSA, in an emailed statement, disputed the accuracy of the 5% figure but said it was unable to provide attendance data. Building security provider Kastle Systems regularly compares keycard data for 10 big cities to produce its Back to Work Barometer. For the week ended March 1, the Washington metro area’s overall office occupancy rate, 47%, ranked 6th. That was 2 percentage points above New York, where Wall Street bosses such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Solomon are aggressively pressing staff to come into the office. Related story: Adams Gets Deal With NYC’s Biggest Union, Will Test Remote WorkThe paucity of workers in Washington’s downtown threatens commercial real estate values and has depressed ridership on the region’s commuter rail system, which boarded only 43% of the number of passengers in January that it did in the same month three years earlier. Glen Lee, the District of Columbia's chief financial officer, warned Feb. 28 that the expansion of remote work and particularly its impact on the city's commercial real estate market poses "a serious long-term risk to the District’s economy and its tax base." A drop in forecasted sales tax revenue is already endangering a highly promoted plan to make city buses free beginning in July. The thin crowds are gutting the Washington retail infrastructure that helps attract people downtown, fueling a vicious cycle that undermines all businesses’ efforts to bring employees back in person. “It’s getting the federal workforce and others back so that some of these sandwich shops and parking garages and Starbucks re-open,” US Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Suzanne Clark said in a meeting with Bloomberg News reporters and editors. CitarLong Wait Times on HoldThe IRS, Social Security Administration and National Archives — which handles veterans’ records — all disputed Republican charges that current telework policies are contributing to service issues.Related story: San Francisco Sees Budget Gap as Remote Work Hits Revenue In fact, the National Archives said in an emailed statement that it has cut a backlog in requests for veterans’ records that reached 600,000 last March down by a third in 11 months, partly through using remote work. It anticipates eliminating the entire backlog by December. The agency said 17% of staff hours are now remote at the St. Louis warehouse where the records are stored.CitarThe IRS said employees involved in processing tax returns aren’t currently allowed to work remotely and blamed service issues on extra workload and phone calls generated by pandemic stimulus measures. The agency said it has since used funds from the Inflation Reduction Act to hire 5,000 additional customer service representatives, substantially cutting its processing backlog and improving the answer rate on its help line. CitarThe Social Security Administration cited an outdated phone system and “the lowest staffing level in 25 years” for the poor service on the help line. The agency blamed a surge in wait times for disability claims on difficulty hiring examiners, a job with an attrition rate that has hit 25%.Both the IRS and Social Security Administration declined to provide the portion of their staffs working from home.Unions Oppose RTO MandateFederal employee unions, an important Democratic political constituency, have resisted attempts to rein back telework options. The National Science Foundation in November agreed to a four-year contract allowing most staff to work from home eight days every two weeks. The FDIC is locked in a dispute with its employee union over whether an agency policy requiring full-time workers to come into the office at least once every two weeks violates a remote work agreement reached during the pandemic.Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said remote work saves the government money and makes it easier to recruit and retain employees.“In the long run, from my perspective, it reduces leasing costs for the government,” Reardon said. The government’s chief personnel official agreed there have been advantages.Remote-work options have increased applications for federal jobs from women, minorities, disabled people, rural residents and military spouses, Kiran Ahuja director of the Office of Personnel Management testified to a House committee on Thursday. On average, federal jobs posted as eligible for remote work received 18 times as many applications from military spouses as those posted as on-site only, she said.CitarNicholas Bloom, a Stanford University economics professor and former McKinsey management consultant who has researched work-from-home arrangements for almost 20 years, said any blanket policy forcing federal employees back into the office is likely to backfire, raising costs and driving away the best workers.Evidence is mounting that remote work can improve efficiency, with one Harvard study finding call center workers at a Fortune 500 retail company raised productivity 7.5% when they switched to remote. That comes even as other research shows some office time promotes coordination and collaboration, reflected in a study published in the journal Nature finding in-person teams showed more creativity solving problems than counterparts communicating virtually.CitarStill, Bloom said, most research has shown government doesn’t measure employee performance as well as private businesses. So “a well-organized hybrid” including some days teams regularly work together in the office is probably especially important for government.Surveys show workers value an option to work remotely as much as an 8% pay increase, Bloom said. If civil servants can gain that benefit elsewhere, “your best-performing employees are going to leave, maybe not in three months but certainly over the next three to five years.”

Nearly 40% of software engineers will only work remotelyHired's annual software engineering study found that remote work is now a competitive hiring differentiator. It also found that younger engineers are at a greater risk of layoffs.ByPatrick Thibodeau, Senior News WriterPublished: 28 Feb 2023Many software engineers will only take a job if remote work is an option and will likely quit if their employer mandates a return to the office, according to Hired's annual software engineering study. Its finding suggests that employers requiring a full-time or hybrid return to office will hurt recruiting efforts.
Employers open to remote workers "are able to get better-quality talent that's a better fit for the organization," said Josh Brenner, CEO of Hired, a job-matching platform for technology jobs. That's happening despite the attention given to companies that are starting to move people back to the office, he said.Brenner said they see evidence of employers broadening their efforts to hire from underrepresented groups in technology occupations, such as Black and Hispanic employees. Markets such as Tampa, Fla.; Atlanta; and Columbus, Ohio, saw employers making the highest requests to interview underrepresented engineering talent. AI experts see diversity in hiring as important to addressing AI bias.
Technology companies have faced criticism for failing to hire more women and Black candidates for technical roles. Some companies, such as Salesforce, have argued that remote work could help address the industry's lack of diversity.By hiring remotely, companies interested in building a diverse team "are able to cast a wider net," Brenner said.Last fall, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the number of people working from home tripled in just two years, from 5.7% of the workforce in 2019, or 9 million people, to nearly 18% in 2021, or almost 28 million people.The New York City-based Hired operates a platform for technology workers that pre-assesses candidates through tests and connects them with employers. Its "2023 State of Software Engineers" report, released Tuesday, is based on interview requests and salary data from 68,500 software engineering candidates and a survey of more than 1,300 software engineers and 120 talent professionals.
Risk of quittingThe report showed that nearly 40% of software engineers preferred only remote roles, and if their employers mandated a return to the office, 21% indicated they would quit immediately, while another 49% said they would start looking for another job.Software engineers aren't necessarily taking a pay cut to work remotely either, even in areas with a lower cost of living and wages. Employers hiring software engineers for remote jobs are facing competition, and "the talent is able to command a higher [wage] premium," Brenner said.Employers also appear to favor engineers with traditional training, such as an engineering degree, versus candidates who have gained skills through alternative programs, including coding boot camps, Hired found.The technology industry has experienced an uptick in layoffs since late 2022, with the youngest software engineers getting hit the hardest. Employers that are hiring are favoring engineers with six years or more experience. The survey also found that nearly 70% of software engineers aren't worried about getting laid off.Patrick Thibodeau covers HCM and ERP technologies for TechTarget Editorial.

El debate actual está en las implicaciones directas e inmediatas del teletrabajo, pero no presta atención a las indirectas y estructurales. ¿Qué sentido tiene una vivienda cara o pequeña en una gran ciudad que solo fue escogida por un trabajo? ¿Qué sentido tiene una vida social organizada en torno a los compañeros de trabajo cuando ya no hay lugar de encuentro? ¿Qué sentido tiene medir la productividad por horas y no por objetivos?[...]https://blogs.elconfidencial.com/tecnologia/tribuna/2020-12-30/teletrabajo-eeuu-pandemia-coronavirus-software-ingenieros_2890043/
Como "insider" os comento de primera mano varias cosas que están pasando.En tecnológicas es tal como dice el artículo: el cambio estaba a punto de caramelo y sólo faltaba el empujón final para decidirse. Ya se está generalizando algo que hace unos cuatro - cinco años vi por primera vez: ofertas donde al trabajador sólo se le exige estar en un rango de husos horarios.Frente a esto, en Madrid se ordenó en junio la vuelta a oficinas de casi todo quisque, entre protestas de los que habían trabajado más y mejor que nunca. Las razones son fáciles de imaginar.Yo aquí veo casi el mismo debate que el "ladrillariado". ¿Para qué tratar de convencerles? Igual que en 2008, ha venido un golpe tremendo, y su única obsesión es volver a lo de siempre cuanto antes. Así se explica que España haya comprado vacunas para el doble de su población, nadie más ha comprado tantas. Mientras, los más espabilados van tomando posiciones y se adaptan.El cambio va a ser muy traumático, y ya está marchando.
El teletrabajo está claro que ni es la panacea, ni es para todo ni para todos. Sólo es una opción más. Los negocios que necesitan seguir siendo presenciales seguirán, otros nuevos surgirán. ¿Quiénes son los verdaderos perdedores de este cambio? Ya los conocemos y se resumen en tres grupos: los que tienen intereses en el ladrillo (la vivienda aún se resiste pero el sector de las oficinas está tocadísimo ya), los hosteleros, y los charlatanes para los que el "trabajo" consistía en lucir palmito en la oficina y vivir del cuento. Ninguna pena, oiga.

The company's career site touted its flexible culture. "If our time working remotely has taught us anything, it's that we can trust our employees to be productive from wherever they work," the site says. The executive team at SVB was spread out around the country, with CEO Greg Becker at times working from Hawaii, according to the FT.Yet, SVB included remote work as a risk to its business in its 2022 annual report — in part because of the IT issues posed when employees are dispersed around the country, but also for productivity reasons.The FDIC, which now runs the bank, told staff they could continue working remotely — except essential workers and branch employees, per Reuters.Axios ultimately blames SVB's run 11 days ago on its panic-inciting public communications about needing to raise capital, combined with its oddly high concentration of tech clients and a portfolio of long-term U.S. treasuries as interest rates rose. "It's certainly possible that if more executives were working in closer proximity those missteps would've been avoided. But it's hard to really know." Yet they warn workplace policies could change simply because the Financial Times ran a piece blaming remote work."Companies looking for a reason to bring workers back to the office may find it in this piece."Saludos.
