WFH vs WFO
Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office? I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.
My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling. Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.
In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,
- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.
What you guys think?
WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career WFH- works for mid- senior folks
Can you explain a little bit more on the WFO for entry level people?
I agree with this, I started working just Last year and was wfh first few months, it was a bit difficult to connect with other team members just with online first interaction, and since it being my first job, I really didnt know how to navigate the dynamics between the team , since wfo started, it has been much much better and I have a better understanding how to navigate and talk to my colleagues and made a few friends too. :)
Well I'm all for permanent wfh but Indian HRs have a problem. In my org people in other geographies have wfh options but Indian employees do not have this "facility"
But who will attend the rangoli fests!
HRs are anyway the black sheep of corporate/org functions (in terms of outcomes to company)
Indian HRs are toxic. They’re often incapable of standing up to the execs and calling out shit like what you posted - other geographies having wfh but not Indian. Some of them are even blind to harassment at work place when it comes from execs. Just totally disappointed with HR culture here.
It’s a sad state honestly. I wonder when things will get better here with them.
All in for remote work but seeing companies rolling it back like fucking crazy. We are usually told that it leads to productivity loss, slower learning curve for employees and leads to less bondage to workplace but in reality it is the other way round I feel. When I am in control of my time, productivity is usually higher, I can manage my time more efficiently to upskill and learn and also likely to attach to my workplace more due to the flexibility it provides.
I feel corporates just want to show who's the boss here that's why they pulling plug on it. Don't see a strong reason other than this.
Nicely put
Sunil Shetty... The actor?
Well ya I suppose he can't act in a movie remotely (probably can't even do it on set, but that's a different discussion)
What's his authority on workplace dynamics?
So called management terms this as productivity loss and say that the learning curve of junior employees is reduced. So mandatory WFO. Sometime they term it as client requirement to work from office.
