So my workplace canceled WFH benefits completely and has asked people to come to work 5 days a week at the notice of a week a month ago.
Before joining the HR touted they offer 'great' flexibility and at max we will be asked to work 3 days from the office which now they completely reneged on. Most employees joined them a year ago based on such promises and now they've completely gone back on their promise.
This sudden change of rule might also be because the company is not doing well. Their share price has well below half and they might be looking to offload people without trying to lay them off. Not only that people with genuine work-from-home requests like people whose kids are registered in NDIS etc are being rejected requests officially and are being asked to take holidays or come to the office after taking care of their arrangements and working late etc.
Some of us work in IT and we really don't need to be in the workplace since its been proven over the last 3 years all over the world and they still insist that we have to be working from the office. Some people with no excuses do work from home though which angers most employees since there is a clear double standard between someone new and old employees.
Is this fair? Can something be done about this?
in my opinion… metro is a political project so it wasn't about helping people to go to CBD using public transport… liberal in sydney wanted to privatise sydney train so there won't be any strike ever again around election and one way to do it to build alternative network and make it ready to privatise sydney train.. !
