Last September my company did introduce mandatory office days again (company of 35-ish employees). One employee was fired for having problems with it because she could not commit on it because she has a small kid. She did not enough time to organise daycare due the extremely long queues for daycare.

And now my project manager did not show up to roughly 50% of the mandatory office days and it's just not being enforced for him.

    @tosensei wow, exactly what i wanted to say. Get the pitchforks indeed.

    Wat hard to fire someone over it, but you maybe don't know if it was the only issue they had with that person.

    A reasonable company would've give time to tix the issue, what i can imagine is still a though one. But let's face it, they hire an professional, not a kid daycare worker.

    @retoor To be fair, The person who was fired was hired during Covid and her work can be done fully remotely. She promised that it would not be a problem and it was the reason she chose for this company (the salary aint great)

    And yes, they had problems with her and I believe this was just an excuse to fire her legally.

    @wojtek322 so she is the reason why all of you need to go to the office now? And she isn‘t even there anymore?

    I‘m not blaming her, that is some retarded company horse shit!

    @Lensflare Nah, it's because the CEO is mindlessly following trends from big companies like amazon.

    They are forcing people to go back to the office so now my CEO copied it. He ignores the reasons why the big companies are doing it.

    @wojtek322 I fear that this might happen to my company as well and there is no way in hell that I‘ll be spending 3 hours per day on commute!

    @Lensflare Oh, 3h is painful. Mine is only 1h - 90 min.

    At least my workplace introduced an exception for anyone that lives more than 60min away (one-way). And for the sales & technicians.

    So like more than the half of our employees have an exception.
