The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

Favorite office chair?

I don’t think a SM can enforce rules that don’t align with firm rules
Bold move forcing your employees to do something they don’t want to do when the job market is so hot and attrition is so high. I think this SM is about to learn a hard lesson

Totally agree - this is someone on a power trip about to learn the tables have turned.
Monday THRU Friday? Hell no.

Is this written in an email? If so submit to partner and hr
I love how we’re all like “Monday to FRIDAY?!” as though this hasn’t been the norm for a century or so. Genuinely, I love and support it.
I nearly said pArT tImEr for the “4:30” comment but realized that’s continuing the toxicity.

Is this normal for your service line? In my 4 years of consulting I’ve never stepped into the firms office (outside of a handful of exceptions - but not actually to work) so if I was in that position I would definitely inform them I’m not doing that. But then again your service line might have more of an expectation to meet in the office? (Probably not but idk) either way I think I’d give the SM one of these
Monday to Friday is ridiculous please push back
SMs aren’t the decision maker in EY
Faq him

Ignore that SM! Even my MD can’t try such
You should push back and say you are not comfortable. He can't force you to come in

May be Friday to Monday works?
Has the firm issued a generic statement that office work / remote work will be discretionary based on business needs? Seems like basic language that they probably have and will kind of screw you.
Yeah so ppl can quit uno. Some of you managers need to be careful these days because the job market is hot. I received a Deloitte interview I didn’t apply for.

Not enforceable….and seems like an HR violation given the wording
Omg - a full work week? At work?! Light the torches and grab the pitchforks!!!
Lol that must a vacation compared to Amazon
SMs are plebs with no authority, I wouldn’t listen (coming from an SM).
If the firm didn't mandated this, then you can simply report this and don't go
