I was issued a monitor in the early days of COVID when they were sending us home to work. We already had laptops. They had literally pallettes of monitors, people were just grabbing one or two. Tracking was through the honor system, writing name and number taken on a piece of paper.

Now they're having us go back into the office ~3 days a week and want us to return the monitors. Lol, no.

What's the justification for having you back in the office?

New people who don't know wtf they are doing because we don't have structured training and our written documentation is piss poor and we're overall bad at helping them. Some new college grad botched a multi-million dollar program and come to find out, they weren't getting any meaningful mentoring or guidance.

The thought is we will be better at seeing these sorts of gaps earlier if we're having real conversations, not just the routine PowerPoint presentations sanitized to show all is good.

Could a team train and mentor via virtual interaction only? Sure. Can this particular team? Nope.
