Many companies. But I wonder why are people still discussing this issue in times of layoffs🤔

TCS is extremely obstinate about stationing its employees in the office. 
Various leading newspapers have covered its executives asserting RTO.

Cloud Architect

Do you know of any company that are forcing employees to RTO?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

He was previously the biggest proponent of WFH. But he recently said this: 

Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week

Looks like most companies will kill WFH long term 🤕

Share your employer toxic trait/policy.

I'll go first 👇🏻

- My employer hired me when it was Fully WFH, now they force me to join office after 8 months of joining.
- Attend 5 days/week
- No hybrid
- Biometric system to track attendance 
- Complete 180 hours in a month or pay cut
- No relocation support
- Less appraisal (~5%) citing market conditions.
- Removed unlimited leaves just a few days below announcing WFO.

FYI: I was named best employee for 2023 Q1

What’s the best way to handle this? I’m ready to quit but only if there’s some sort of official statement.

No official communication from HR regarding RTO but manager is pressuring to

Is it true that TCS is ending wfh & calling everyone back to office. I m concerned for my brother who is currently livong with mother at hometown.  He has to go back to Hydrabad if rumors are true.

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 🙏

Bangalore people covid is spiking, found cases at my office

guys I still don't understand the purpose of being anonymous if you cannot name the company.

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Standard stupid Indian HRs. Asking to share screen and resign. If you don't resign threatening to withhold the experience letter etc. 

Yaay to our labour laws!!

DevOps Engineer

I'm a fresh grad incoming sde-2 at Netsuite Hyderabad. 
How is the work there and engineering learning growth? 
Should I apply to other places too or stick it out for a year considering the climate of layoffs? 
Is there wfh?
Any information you can provide would be helpful.

No WFH

The goal was to target the quiet quitters and those with opportunities elsewhere by making the current work environment unappealing.

RTO mandate a Quiet Layoff Strategy

Actuarial Associate

My Indonesian based firm just announced mandatory work from the office within a few months and leadership was just heartless about this move :(.

I just shifted back to my hometown from Bangalore with my family and just sorted schooling for my kid.
Now I have to travel back to the expensive city . Please help a friend out with interesting roles in companies doing remote work.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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!

Can't fault Milind Lakkad.  He has a new boss. 
  
 New boss, new tune.

L&T Mindtree locking employees in office as per Reddit post.

This shit would be illegal in Europe or other developed countries. That manager and company would get a legal kick in their nuts so hard. In Indian it'll take 10 or 20 years for any resolution even if they manage to file a case.
