We had an “All Hands” meeting where all employees have to attend. I managed to get look at the agenda in advanced, so I knew it was gonna be absolutely shitshow..
They started off by announcing all employees in a certain section of the business need to be in the office 3 days per week and WFH contracts have been cancelled for all people within 50 miles of a hub. Working in a technical field that went down like a lead balloon.
The very next breathe they praised all staff that worked during black Friday and how remote teams from all over the globe helped during the busiest time and at all hours..Some people working 24 hour shifts from home and remote locations.
The final slice of bread made out of shit highlighted that bonuses would not be paid out this year.
All this said with a straight face, and they had the audacity to state that one of the main reasons for people coming back to the office was that during a survey, 53% of people preferred to work from the office. No the rationale around the bonus was that we did not hit target, that is fair, but they had the check to say if everyone was in the office we would have got target.
I know I work in sales but come the fuck on.
