Are companies going back to WFH working model looking at spike in covid cases ?

Spike in covid cases in Bangalore !

Spike in covid cases in Bangalore !- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

In Bangalore Covid cases has started to spike again, please wear mask everyone. Yesterday one person age 62,  passed away due to Covid. 

A leading well known MSME book keeping and Peak XV surged backed startup, has active COVID cases in the office and they are doing nothing about it. I asked the HR and the person was clueless. The positive person themself is informing everyone to be cautious. Health of employees is a joke here. Basic courtesy of informing employees is severely missing. Also not sure what Office Admin/HR leaders plan for our safety. These people will have no impact of their health and their families. I’m expected to come to the office though my work doesn’t require to come to office. I was okay with this. But after hearing Covid cases I have started to feel panicking. 

Also I have isolated myself from my fam and elderly parents. 

In Q4 the organization said it would be transparent. This is how it is planning to do that? Our health doesn't matter? :/

Only making things public, makes them take action. Is this what I have to do every time I need them to meet basic expectations?

If any other company facing this problem? How are you dealing this? Please share ideas to isolate or precautionary measures 🙏

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?

WFH vs WFO

WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career 
 WFH- works for mid- senior folks

Instagram drives fomo have created epidemic of status driven consumption like ₹2500 for a one hour class of pottery, strawberry picking for Rs. 2000.

 Why is Staying at home looked down upon

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days-

TCS- From 75% to 0%, that was pretty fast!

After getting a bunch of 'buy a house' advice from my in-laws over the weekend, I decided to fire up magicbricks to check prices in Bengaluru. My browsing ended within 5 mins seeing just how much the prices have risen in last 1 year

A 3BHK that used to cost 2.3 Cr last year is now 3.7
A 2BHK that used to cost 1.8 Cr last year is now 2.7

These are two houses I had earmarked for sometime later when I would have more money

WTF is happening in BLR

Time to call in-laws and say that "Aap do jodo mei ladki bhejo ladki huio hamaari"
