Companies Are Getting More Creative In Pushing People Away

, according to Gallup. It's not just sentiment; it has real consequences for business performance. Consider these numbers from the same Gallup report. Organizations with highly engaged teams outperform those with less engaged teams on multiple measures; for example, enjoying 23% higher profitability and a 68% increase in well-being.

Rather than working to increase engagement, some companies have taken a counterintuitive approach. From unusually restrictive non-disclosure agreements to punitive remote work policies, to downgrading job titles, these strategies have elevated creating disengagement to an art form. More importantly, it raises questions about the evolving nature of the employer-employee relationship.

Let's take a whirlwind tour through a few recent headlines showcasing just how creative some companies can be when pushing talent out the door.Let's start with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research laboratory. They made waves when reports surfaced about their unusually restrictive non-disclosure agreements. In short, if departing employees didn't sign the exit documents quickly, they were reportedly threatened with the loss of their vested equity.

While OpenAI has since apologized and claimed they didn't know those provisions were in place and promised never to claw back vested equity, this serves as an example of the lengths some companies are willing to go to silence employees.

And, as employers get more controlling, employees will get more creative in finding ways around rules that just make no sense from a business perspective. Take"," for instance. This is a practice where someone comes into the office for just long enough to have a coffee and get credit for being in person. They then go home to get their actual work done. Almost 60% of hybrid workers admit to doing this.
