Manager decided to go hybrid but honestly, wants everyone to come everyday of the week. Using bullying tactics and manipulation to scare his employees to come to the office.
So, I went because I need the money to pay cc debt. I arrive at the designated floor and behold! Everyone from my team is sat on the floor! The literal carpeted floor because we don't have desks or offices or even chairs.
I swallow my shame and anger and sit on the floor and start working. By lunchtime, manager has procured a “conference” room for us. It's literally a closet. Four chairs, one big table. That's it. We are 6 people. Two people need to sit on the floor while others sit on the chairs and use the table.
Imagine 6 people working in a small room. The noise, the bumping of elbows, the irritation because my manager keeps micromanaging me in front of everyone.
I asked my manager if this is the same arrangement when I come in tomorrow? He says yes, this will be the arrangement until we get an actual office. And who knows when that will happen.
This is a big company. Founder is one of the richest people in the world so we have a huge office campus but literally no office space?? What is happening?
Tldr; manager drags everyone back to office, fails to provide said office, and forces everyone to sit on the floor and a small room. I miss my home office and my chair and my two monitor setup!!!
