So we had a meeting in the company to discuss ways to improve the work environment (which is overall really good I must say, and it really feels they value our opinions and are trying to build a good company culture).
Anyway… I brought up that in order to improve work/life balance for my department, who isn’t customer facing and needs minimal collaboration, they could give us back the flexibility of full time WFH (we were full WFH, but the company decided that we must at minimum come to the office twice a week just because).
Then a person from another department said that WFH would be unfair to departments that have to be in the office full time and that there must be a compromise from our part. I obviously challenged her statement saying that compromise is if I have to collaborate with her and then I’d be happy to come to the office. Making me come to the office just for the sake of it would be a punishment, not a compromise.
I also added that I don’t get other benefits that certain teammates have, but I don’t want them to lose their benefits just because I don’t personally benefit from them.
I will never understand people from the working class trying to sabotage each other… so frustrating. Fight for better working conditions for everyone, even when they don’t benefit you personally!
