If you were in leadership and had power to take RTO related decision then how you would have handled the govt pressure of RTO smoothly that saves company's and your ass without having to force and terminate employees as if it is a game?
I realized, people study for 2 decades and graduate engineering/MBA then go through all the struggle to get a job that creates a wave of happiness in a middle class family but then the final boss sitting at the top becomes submissive to govt and creates customized policies that benefits everyone except their own employees and starts playing with employees' life.
Some seniors getting heavy paycheck also gonna argue against people who oppose RTO because it seems they have also become submissive and will accept any fact as valid for the sake of money even if that goes against their own will.
If anyone says, countries like China, Japan too call their employees to office. MAN!! That's because they have comfortable facilities, neat and punctual transports, perfect roads, civic senses, controlled real estate inflations. None of these exists in India. People only want to compare one side of the coin, because that side makes their life easy even if it screws up others'.
TLDR: ranting and seeking opinion on RTO.
I couldn't agree less. Im in such a state that i have to resign because the cost of living in Bangalore doesn't justify the salary we are getting.. work is going so smoothly for what the hell they are calling to office.. they say that its one day.. fuckers one day or 5 day doesn't matter, we have to relocate anyway..
Exactly, I am having anxiety attacks. I have issues in my family which is why I can't relocate them to Bangalore. HR has outrightly dismissed my plea and warned that disciplinary action might be taken in case of non-complaint
can you please help me with a query -
I have accepted a offer for banglore location which is offering me in-hand salary of 95 thousand. I am recently married with EMI 36k/month making effective salary around 59k will it be sufficient for couple?
Due to 1 day/week I am spending 20k per month to do WFO, now I am able to save zero rupee. My monthly situation is very tight because of this RTO. And in office I'm less productive, most of the time I feel sleepy and no team members are at my base location to talk. This RTO fully waste of our money and time.
That's really sad man. I badly wish them to realize this problem, I badly want them to take opinions of employees who are suffering. How tf they're empathetic to gay and lesbians (LGBTQ) but not empathetic to their own employees 🥲
Would be great if companies could expand to tier2 cities. They could get offices for hell lot cheaper than it actually cost them in tier1 cities. Government could also promote such options and this would drastically reduce the operations costs of companies.this could be a Win-Win option for both employees and employers.
I asked same question to GPT and he really didn't disappoint.
I believe responsibility of RTO is being unfairly dumped on to government. After COVID, to display normalcy in life to the world, government pushed to get offices open quickly. But companies have kept using it as a reason for returning to offices saying government is forcing them, it's not. If government could 'FORCE' things onto these companies, then we would have much better labour laws implementation. Companies are not taking such decisions because they are scared of the government. It's because it's in their interest.
The RTO is just to eliminate moonlighting. Everyone must suffer so that the company does not get in trouble. They won't bother screening new hires better, but just ask everyone to be face to face so no funny business can happen.
Good insight, my opinion is 90% moonlighting happens because employees are underpaid. Rest 10% are probably greedy for extra money. If I had to risk my job and do moonlighting then that's because that's the only damn option I have, to feed my family even after having a full-time job. Fixing moonlighting by RTO is like tightening screws using a hammer.
The solution will be simple, let's have co-working spaces, which can be shared with other companies. It will allow opening offices in even small cities.
Right now the problem is people shifted to small towns during WFH, and coming back is costly affairs, even schools are taking 2-5 lakh donations for admission. Add transportation, rents, living expenses. Without a good salary hike, it is difficult to manage.
That's why despite the poor job market, attrition is very high.
100% agreed
If govt is forcing companies for RTO then govt should also make some regulations in the rent near offices, only employees who actually need to perform their job from office should be called to office in such inflated cities
Leadership can come up with location based incentive. If people work from tier 1 they get a larger city allowance
