Hi, I recently joined small company and there has been a lot of changes since I started.
First they have installed CCTV everywhere, and every manager has live feed on their mobile of every corner of the office, not HR or IT. Then they have a new attendance system which allows to access the office, but the managers too have access to it, not the HR. Now they are asking for the passwords of the work phones and Apple account passwords. They are also requesting to submit dates of our leaves for the whole year in advance, otherwise we risk our leaves not being approved.
On top of that, they require new joiners to pay health insurance costs back to them if they resign or are terminated during probationary period, which as far as I know is illegal.
And they are not allowing employees to work from home anymore even though their work can be 100% done remotely.
There is quite a bit of other serious issues…
The place is becoming really unpleasant to work in. There is no trust, just micromanagement. Ugggh, it is so disappointing but I have no other options at the moment.
