About a month ago management demanded a full return to the office. Everyone was pretty annoyed and would even accept a split of 3 days in 2 days out or even just in all the time a flexibility when we need it. But no, everyone has to be in all the time with no exceptions. Fuel is very expensive right now and it costs a lot to go in every day, my department doesnt have a manager at the moment because they haven't managed to hire someone new yet (couldn't possibly be due to the shitty pay and no WFH). In our friday morning meeting our defecto head of the department has said that he has accepted a job offer somewhere else and my manager has said he has a final interview this monday that he is very confident about.
I'm I'm a graduate programme an obligated to stay on until at least September this year. I can't wait until I can leave and look for something more competitive that will let me work from home.
I'm going to be a homeowner soon and I really want to get a dog but if I dont have a WFH position it's really not fair on a dog to just be left at home all day. That is what is motivating me at the moment. Get a good reference and jump ship as soon as possible and spend my days at home with a dog I will love.
