At companies with a hybrid workplace, there will be two tiers of workers—and those who are in the office will reap more promotions and raises
Prominent tech companies are embracing remote work amid an exodus of skilled labor from Silicon Valley. WSJ looks at what that could mean for innovation and productivity and what companies are doing to manage the impact.It’s a common refrain these days: Let workers decide where and when they work.
The impetus, of course, stems from the pandemic, when employers sent office workers home for a year and a half, with surprisingly few hiccups. Productivity didn’t suffer, and workers enjoyed their newfound freedom. Now, we’re told, companies can’t go back to the old, controlling ways without workers revolting.
That may be, but here’s what almost certainly will happen if the hybrid advocates win the day: Companies will have a two-tier workplace, with on-site workers getting the bulk of the promotions and raises. Why would that be, especially after we’ve apparently just seen the benefits of remote work? The reason is simple: The experience during the pandemic was totally different from the circumstances going forward—which means that the pandemic past isn’t a reliable guide to the pandemic-free future. For one thing, during lockdown, workers had a sense that they all had to pull together to keep their businesses afloat and bosses were willing to let workers decide what to do and when.
To understand what that means, just imagine that you and your friend are doing the same job at roughly the same performance level, but your friend decides to work from home while you decide to return to the office. No prizes for guessing which of you will get ahead.
