No..
Productivity did tank during WFH.
But, there was also less available work, because some of our customers were hit by lockdowns.
It is not clear what metrics my company uses to determine productivity, and in what proportions were these 2 factors responsible for lower $/worker.
​
But, then we got back to the offices. And that productivity (again, however they define it, might just be $/worker) AGAIN drooped compared to WFH. So it's even worse then WFH.
​
Now talking to colleagues, it seems many are depressed because they lowed WFH. I see that as the main reason for why productivity has declines SINCE coming back from offices.
But, management obviously does not, and have started a campaign of petty nips.
Like, you can you your phone if you have to for important things (as it was always the case), but can do it over you desk, or keep it in the office.
You can't go 5m outside the office building door to pick up food delivery, unless they deliver it exactly when we have a collective break (even though we have flexible hours, and can clock out at any time). You can smoke, or do whatever you want when you clock out, but apparently not pick up food.
They bring us table soccer, but the company is 200 people and we are only allowed to play during the 30 min break.
Etc..
Just antagonizing people with small things that don't affect the bottom line much, if at all.
