Boss is Removing WFH
Advertisements
My boss is forcing everyone back into the office full time and had the audacity to tell us the “vacation is over”. We work 40 hours a week and sometimes put in overtime.
Going into the office is gonna add 1.5 hours to my day and cost me about a thousand a year. Plus, it’s gonna ruin my mental health that’s been improving gradually the past several months since going WFH. :/
I can do everything from home, why don’t bosses just allow us to do our job and be happy at the same time?
Netizens’ comments
- When my company tried that last year most of the WFH employee teamed up and sent in emails saying they would quit before coming back. 75% sent these emails and it scared the higher ups so they backed off.
- Time for everyone’s production to drop drastically because “the vacation is over” for your boss and he doesn’t even know it.
- “I know you’ve never been more productive but my assistant needs to time your breaks, your coworkers can’t brown nose me over Zoom & we’re paying high rent for this space so I’m going to have to insist you return to the office even though it’s an hour commute each way.”
- I think there’s still the stigma out there that people aren’t as productive at home as they are in the office. Because people never goof off in the office.
- I don’t get this mindset. The company I work for sold the majority of office space or didn’t renew the lease. We now have no where to return to and I am thankful for this tiny ray of sunshine in the shit storm.
- Commuting is not just a time cost, but also a direct cost to employees. Seems obvious, but it should not be understated the cost impact.
