Sick of working at this dinosaur firm
While many workplace are already open to partial WFH moving forward, this work place I am in is still stuck in the past.
Even the time we reach office is scrutinised (must be at seat by 9am) but when we take a shorter lunch or go home late there is no reward.
Although I like my work, I think the management will not change their attitude to WFH or flexible work hours. There are too many old-timers here that hold tea parties and chit chat loudly with one another. So I can understand why they would prefer not to WFH and even want to move back to having physical meetings, which they will make younger staff like us try to book meeting rooms for them, that is forever not available because someone from another dept will mass-book all the rooms in advance.
Its like taking a time machine back to 2010s again. Except I dont get to be more youthful.
Here are what netizens think:
- Find a new job lor. There are people who like working for “dinosaurs firm” like this. You clearly aren’t suitable here. Go find another place that suits you.
- I do not work office jobs, if I do work in one, I wont take up those jobs which have WFH system. I rather go to office daily to escape the toxiness of my family.Anyway every job isn’t perfect. If you think the culture doesn’t suits you, don’t stress yourself any further. It’s time to move on.
- If me, i’ll stick with everything in time. Means seated at 9. Go for lunch and go back the exact timing. Still the same pay
- Do they use the same high voltage electric fence wall to keep all the dinosaurs inside like Jurassic Park? What’s stopping the exhibits from running or flying away?
