Employer here. Look for an alternative offer to leverage. Tell both parties that home office guarantees in writing will have a lot of weight in your final decision.
Yeah that's what I've been trying to do. But nobody's hiring right now. Or they don't want to pay a decent salary.
Besides, they're already forcing us to wear a suit and tie. To be in a cubicle office as IT consultants. To communicate with each other via MS Teams...
But how else will your superior feel powerful?
This sounds like hell. I'm sorry to hear this.
Ahhh the before time
Right?? What kind of 90's office hell is this?
And this is coming from the founder who gave his company to his children but still hangs around to terrorize the employees with the threat of getting fired if they don't do as he says.
Sounds bad. What skills are you looking to employ in which rough area?
Employee here. If you need an alternative offer to get reasonable considerations from your employer, just take the alternative offer. The employer clearly doesn't respect you and your current leverage is just a short term tool until they start taking advantage of you again.
Yeah I was assuming their employer wants to keep them. This is how you negotiate change. My employees are all 100% home office if they want and come in regularly by choice.
