It looks like the tech bubble pop is finally hitting Oklahoma!
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve received word via the Ogle Mole Network that Paycom – the local tech company that outbid us for naming rights to OKC's downtown arena – is quickly moving away from its popular work-from-home policy and demanding its QA & IMS employee groups return to the office by January 12th.
I’m not 100% sure what those acronyms and job responsibilities mean in Paycom speak, but according to one Ogle Mole, the move will affect a broad base of employees who work at the corporate headquarters just north of the Kilpatrick Turnpike.
An Ogle Mole sent us a screenshot of an internal announcement Paycom put together about the news last month. You can view it here or just read some of the text below:
Technology leadership communicated a plan to bring Technology team members back to working more in-office beginning in January. Years of dedication and hard work have built Paycom into an industry leader. We've generated significant momentum and the company's trajectory is one that should make us all proud and excited about our path forward.
With so many upcoming critical projects. It's more important than ever our teams perform at their highest level and moving to more of an in-office environment will allow us to be connected better and collaborate more.
