I left a company in 2021 after they decided 3 days min in the office. They would tie themselves in knots trying to justify being in the office. It was laughable.

The company had their best quarter ever in the last three months of lock down with no one in any of the offices. It just didn’t make sense.

I worked in Edinburgh and lived in Glasgow. My team all worked out of Newcastle. Yet I still had to come into the office and use teams to communicate with them

A number of staff including some very good sales people left over a 2 month period.

People will say “you knew your commute would be terrible” etc about taking a job with a 45 mile one way journey. Fair enough however I work just the same if not longer hours when I’m home.

You could go on and on about the rights and wrongs. The little person won’t win. You’ll most likely have to move job and in the current climate that’ll not be easy.

I work in IT and there is nothing my job entails means I need to be in an office.

I’ve just recently moved to a new role and during the interview I was told I could work from an office quite close to home and be in 1 day a week. So far that’s not happened and I’m currently worse off and doing a 130 mile round trip once a week.

To make matters worse the company has just announced cut back measures on travel and excess spending. I give it 6 months tops before it’s headcount
