Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says - eviltoast
1,504 workers, including 504 HR managers questioned.

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.

    That’s something, lol. I’m not irreplaceable but it would be an absolute clusterfuck if I left, at least for a while.

    I do a good job of documenting everything but so much of my work relies on scripts that I wrote and never properly deployed - a mix of python and VBA, and all my reporting relies on an API connection that nobody else maintains and other than a handful of queries I shared, nobody really knows how to use it.

    I’m not trying to be shitty but it’s job security.

      Not shitty at all! Cross training and backups are your employer’s problem, not yours. It may hurt you if you go on vacation or are sick, but it hurts them even more when you leave. Job security is job security and I’ll take it lol
