I am tired of employers who encourage attendance at meetings or events that are important to the company.
I work remotely and that is a great advantage and motivation when it comes to being productive for me. However, in this and two other previous experiences I have had, we are encouraged (practically forced) to attend certain events where the objectives of the company are presented or which are the new shareholders and managers.
Nor do I like those meetings where they bring together several of us from different projects to share how we are doing and if we find better ways to work. Because, let's not fool ourselves, this shared information is almost never used to improve or help new incorporations to better manage the onboarding.
In fact, we are expected to follow up on the day we attend these events to end the workday in the office. Of course, when we go to the office we are not as productive; there are too many distractions and the space conditions are not better (at least not in my case).
Does anyone think otherwise, that these events are interesting for anyone other than managers?
