We had a meeting about 6 weeks ago to talk about the return to the office. What are the companies expectations and what are the employee expectations. The plan is to NOT return to a 5 day a week in the office model.What are peoples office saying about returning?
The plan is for 2 and 1/2 days in the office. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday. Friday will be a half day. We work in the morning and then have an office lunch together. Then everyone goes home early for the day.
As a start they have asked people to return on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Very few have followed that suggestion. I end up in the office with only one or two other people. Even when there have been 4 or more in the office we still take all our meetings from our desks via Microsoft Teams. It seems pointless. If we are not all going to get together in the same room for meetings when we are in the office, why are we even in the office?
I believe the answer to that questions is that the company believes if they don't get us back in the office soon, they will never get us back in the office. I am not sure they are ready for a workforce that is mostly work from home.
