Employer demands all employees return to the office 4 days a week despite there not being enough desks or even seats for everyone—this marks a brutal end to the previous 2-day flexible working policy: 'People often have to work at the cafeteria'
If you ever wonder whether there is an ulterior motive for a policy, all you have to do is take a look at whether or not it even makes sense.An employer changed its flexible 2-day-a-week working policy to a mandatory return-to-office 4-day-a-week requirement. Except no one stopped to consider the fact that the office space was too small for everyone to work there at once. This created a situation where employees are now being forced to work from odd places, and even the cafeteria, just to have a place to sit.When work from home hit full force because of certain events, many companies elected to downsize their offices—or did away with them entirely. That, or they have simply grown since everyone had to work in the office.So what happens when your company adopts a trendy Return to Office (RTO) policy demanding that everyone work from the office from now on?
