First day back from holiday.
CEO announces everyone the pandemic is over and everyone has to return to the office.
Talked about how good it is to come and crack a joke with a colleague and that they care about our wellbeing.
I have barely been able to even focus on work because of all the chaos in the company since the beginning of the year (many interviews for hiring new devs, company events, meet etc.)
Colleagues talking about the fact that nobody can work from the office given all the chaos in the projects and nobody will come because they can't fire us all.
I have to answer to an outsourcing company today for a new fully remote full stack .NET developer position for the same pay, but might be risky in terms of what I can actually deliver in terms of code.
What advice can you give me? Jump the boat or not?

    Jump.

    When asked why - tell them the CEO wants WFO, and you felt that was a personal insult.

    Damn, ngl, it sounds like a great moment to unionize and just negotiate together.

    @msdsk I'm afraid I don't live in that kind of country. We used to be like that when we had good strong leaders

    We care so much about you guys that we want you to waste your life commuting to the office just so I can feel safe about my imaginary problems!

    @ars1 Very true. Everyone always talks about development time costing a lot, but nobody enforces that developers should have some development time.

    If the boss thinks it's better for productivity, or doesn't trust their employees to WFH, then it will not get better in the long run.

    That lack of trust is a massive red flag imho.

    @dakkarant They don't care about our productivity, they leave that part to us. Each dev has to figure out how to be productive on his own. They just change the rules when they need and expect us to adapt to those rules.
    Example: We need 20 new devs by EOY. Get them interviewed and onboarded. Oh and don't forget about your tasks in the meantime

    Well, it definitely won't change unless you try.
