Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

If not possible then at least during the time when monsoon is at its peak...

If not possible then at least on the days when it rains a lot regardless of it being the expected peak of the season

It saves lots of time and trouble with potholes, getting sick due to exposure to rain, traffic, etc.

In the long term it saved more time of employees and company if companies consider these factors.

For the monsoon season everyone should get WFH
