"Forcing people into working conditions in which they are uncomfortable is only going to harbour resentment towards the company and if you are in a country where workers actually have real rights you will have a hard time firing them."
They are forcing them back into the office, which was pretty much the norm pre-covid. Having hard to fire employees isn't a good thing for the company or the well-being of other employees, when dealing with a bad employee.
If you want to work from home forever, contract with a company, and put it in your contract. This is what I've done for over a decade now.
- a96 10mo agoBeing a one person company with one client is circumventing employment laws. Sensibly illegal in many countries.
- billy99k 10mo agoWho says I only have one client? It's also one of the reasons that it's so difficult to actually start a company in many of these countries, and the economic landscape consists of large multi-national corporations and the government. It's also not illegal (at least in the US), if you have your own LLC/company. This kind of thinking is why I've had steady work while working remotely for many years and we see articles like this crying about companies taking away remote work.
