Do any of you work for a company that has a hybrid work policy that includes exceptions and flexibility but when you use the policy as written you are seen as a 'detractor'? I am a rule follower, I do not want to be in the job market right now and I confirmed with the policy I am following it. However, it feels like senior leadership is now using this 'flexibility' against me to prevent a future increase in pay. Ugh I guess this is just a vent but its super lame!

This feels similar to the scam of unlimited PTO. Its not really unlimited, in fact its probably less than if you just had an allotted amount

And we have that too! Feels very much like policy does not match perception.

this is one of those culture vs policy gaps that's really common. the policy says flexible but the unwritten expectation says otherwise. the detractor label usually comes from managers who measure presence not output. worth having a direct conversation with your manager about what success looks like for your role specifically, because if the answer is "be in the office more" thats a culture signal, not a policy one

My manager is fine with it, her manager is fine with it, the director above that person who sits in my office 6 seats away is the one making waves over it and we don't even work together/overlap. It's wild.

No please I applied for a role here and have a face to face soon, but all I can say is either suck it up and shop around, or hope you get redundent and get a nice pay packet or just throw in the towel, but remember a clock face may think it's important since it points to time but its the cogs in the back that makes it work

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
