Times get tough and one of the first things they do is put the screws to the little guy. When is the last time the peons got a raise? Look at what they did to the ESPP match. And spouses are not permitted to have coverage on the cafeteria health insurance plan if they can get coverage through their employer. What kind of cr-p is that?
The firm deserves the lack of productivity that comes with a hybrid work environment.
Oh well, when morale drops low enough, the cheap b@st@rds, will give everyone a free lunch to smooth things over. The id--ts from on high really care about the little guy.
