Any agencies we know of that have tried or are planning to try bringing remote employees back to office? Is there any way around it if you don't want to?

Yes, we’re currently slated to be back in the office 3 days a week starting next week… We were instructed to write to HR if we have issues with the RTO plan which a lot of people in my department did. We had a town hall today and it was barely mentioned it. Mind you I was in the office a few weeks back and we still had wifi problems, stations with working power, and not enough stations to accommodate a full staff day. So the plan is apparently in place but there’s still a lot of holes so we expect the plan to sink sooner than later.

I was hired as a remote employee (not within reasonable distance to the office either) and my team kept pushing for “time together” in the office. The big bosses also kept trying to introduce more positive reasons to hybrid. I am starting a new job next week 😅

Can anyone at Pwc AC bangalore office confirm if they are reopening anytime soon or already working in hybrid mode? I have an offer from HR who insists that office isn't gonna open anytime soon but not ready to give anything in writing. Given that HR has miscommunicated multiple things (verbally), it is difficult to take them up on their word. I wanted to understand how long before they start calling people back to office.

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)
