Tell me you’re culling staff without telling me you’re culling staff.
Most of us recognise that working from the office is more productive.
Working in an office is such an antiquated way of working. I see it pushed a lot by older managers who think their younger staff aren’t collaborating because they don’t hear them on the phone – meanwhile the younger staff are continuously chatting away on Slack or Teams.
Don’t really understand the logic of what AIB is doing.
If it’s about culling staff, the majority of the people you think they would prioritize to compete against modern neobanks and fintechs (software devs, data scientists, data engineers, etc..) are mostly young and have to commute from outside Dublin.
The only people not largely affected consist of mostly middle-aged AIB lifers that bought their Dublin house in the 80s-2000s and are more likely to just be filling a seat doing busy work.
It’s already hard enough to retain the former group because they pay shit wages and the career progression sucks. This is just gonna accelerate them leaving.
My own theory is that AIB is responsible for a large commercial real estate portfolio : a market that hasn’t recovered since COVID and is making lenders worried. I think this could just be a desperate attempt to stir up a narrative that more companies should be going RTO and they should be availing of that sweet ,sweet vacant office space.
Ultimately this is a failing of urban policy. Workers wouldn’t be facing this anxiety if we lived in a competently designed country that favored a mixed use of close proximity mid/high-rise apartments and office blocks.
Surprisingly bringing people back to the office after the gov sold its last tranche of shares. No coincidence there folks
“We’re in trouble” – Yes you absolutely are !
I’m lucky in that we’re still 1 day a week in the office but slowly but surely i am seeing, within friend groups, people going back 3-4 days per week. In one place, their attendance is linked to their yearly performance review which impacts their salary increase.
There’s been a few people in our place taking the piss but thankfully it hasn’t resulted in a sweeping generalized return so that managers can more actively monitor you.
