It's a big company and they are an ERP vendor thus rooted in old fashioned manufacturing ideas. They think their size will protect them.
They want us back in the office July 16... I'm going to pass so found a new remote role with higher salary and equity. I will be part of this wave. I didn't realy even try with how insane the market is especially if you are specialzed in the current hotness.
Moreso, the rise of fully remote role has opened up our ideas about our current living situation. The real estate market in our city is shattered and broken. So we will also move 60 miles south to a different city... before the pandemic I was remote and missed the office. Post pandemic... fuck the office and 1+ hour commutes purely because the city, state, and country have mismanaged infrastructure for 20 years.
I've been using Terragrunt to keep my Terraform DRYU in a similar manner. It's a bit of a rethink in how you structure things but I've been happy so far.

There are dozens of these examples. I switched a few years back after AWS released the automataic HTTP to HTTPS redirect functionality in ALBs and 6 months after release it still wasn't supported in CF. Terraform isn't perfect and it still has a ton of isues but it's rate of innovation is way a head of CF.
My 15 mile commute has reached 45 minutes and withing the next couple years it will be 60 minutes. American cities have given up on public transportaion and infrastructrure and are crumbling under the weight of capitalism.
They want to build that familial model where you live and die for your teammates and wfh hampers that because you aren't forced to trauma bond with a bunch of strangers. Facebook/Google learned early on that building campuses that look and act like colleges increased worker retention and productivity because they built their whole lives around the company. Shopping, Doctors, Recreation all happened on campus. All your new friends were made on campus after they forced relocation.
It seems like this is what occured.
yes and this is why a lot of us have started runnning CI on PR's and failing PR's if they don't pass basic quality gateways like linting.
This is legitimate feedback. It's SMART feedback.
If you go to his boss with I don't like this feedback. what is your expected outcome? What would you expect if someone when to your boss to complain about legitimate feedback you gave someone else?
You may not like it but he has laid out exactly how he measures engineers and how he expects his managers to measure them.
If you aren't able to accomodate to meet his measurement and you aren't comfortable knowing you don't meet his expectations, find a team with a different culture.
IMO going to his boss saying I don't feel that this very legitimate feedback will likely only accelerate your departure because it sounds like the director has reciepts to back all his statements. You should make every effort to address it directly with him and your manager before you escalete with no real grounds to escalate.
