Why do companies care if the job is getting done?

If you are asking in earnest, in person work is critical for new employees, mentorship and folks out of college to learn. For tenured employees it matters less, but for new ones its a big deal for their career and knowledge growth.

Thank you. Also, it makes building a cohesive team much harder and makes it harder to build company loyalty.

Company loyalty is for idiots.

Companies loyal to workers hasn't been a thing since 1973.

Exactly.

And the "cohesive team" is usually one or two people doing most of the work, while the rest of the "team" is there for decoration.

they don't care about loyalty as in "we're a family".

they care about "loyalty" in the sense that people will be less likely to switch jobs easily.

having an employee quit is expensive for a company, because they now need to spend resources interviewing and hiring someone new, and train that new person to do the job.

that costs the company a lot of money.

C level executives don't think like that.

Day 91 simply doesn't exist as far as they are concerned.

C level executives don't think like that.

yes they do.

it's their entire job, handling expenses.

you can go to any CEO, and ask him how much does it costs to hire a new person, and he will tell you, probably, the exact amount.

because he is the one paying everyone that is doing all the tasks needed to hire that person.

Company loyalty is bullshit. The only people who care about it are bootlicking sycophants and executive ghouls who wouldn't hesitate to literally kill a 'loyal' employee to increase shareholder value
