Informed yesterday my team are to return five days a week in office with no flex, senior management also are saying double vaxxed in the office will return but unvaxxed will not. (EMEA)
The 'flex' they have allowed is if we have an emergency, and tbh most jobs allow that, if you have something that requires you to be at home, what baffles me is the potential real estate cost savings this firm miss out on, and the attrition they promote by lacking the foresight to listen to the wants of their workers. Happy employees are productive employees! I'm happier in my life with just two days remote, that's all I wanted, I'll go into the office, but being forced back into bu-----t meetings, presenteeism, looking busy for the sake of it. Wooo can't wait.
What about the commute for folk outside of areas near the only office in that region?
Parking?
Overcrowded offices?
What if we go back into local lockdowns?
