Instead of crying over rules and regulations that are being marketed as “collaboration”, let’s call it what it really is.
This isn’t because management suddenly discovered the joy of togetherness —
it’s because they have to, not because they want to.
Now, think from a management / board of director’s lens :
Whether employees come to office or not, rentals still have to be paid.
Even if the office is owned, electricity bills don’t magically drop to zero just because chairs are empty.
The central AC's always runs. The milk used for coffee machines in all offices is much lesser than a one day expenses of business travel for leadership.
Janitors, maintenance staff, cleaners, security, bathroom sweepers — all should be coming to office if employees visit or not. ,
And here’s the interesting part 👇
Only when employees come to office:
Internal office cafeterias “perform” business.
External ecosystems wake up — petrol, buses, metros, autos
Nearby hotels, food trucks, tea stalls, and lunch joints survive
So yes, this isn’t about culture.
It’s about utilisation, sunk costs, and economic chain reactions.

Accept with your comment:
If anyone is supposed to protect IT employees, it’s labour laws, strict regulations, and government enforcement.
And that’s exactly where the system collapses.
There’s a massive difference between how employees are protected in the USA vs India, even when the same organisations operate in both countries under the same brand names.
Different rules. Different protections. Different respect.
So who should be blamed?
Not the company. Not the manager. Not HR.
Blame the government, which neither enforces strict labour laws nor genuinely safeguards private-sector employees — despite happily taxing them.
Now the uncomfortable question:
Are we in any position to make the government listen to us?
Let’s be honest — no.
If IT employees even attempt collective action the way gig workers gonna do on Dec 31, the outcome is predictable:
Careers get paused
Resumes get “reviewed”
Futures get quietly packed up
If 1,000 people protest, that’s 1,000 careers at risk.
Not just for organisations — even for governments, private-sector employees are viewed primarily as revenue generators, not citizens with leverage.
And that’s precisely why managers don’t call people employees.
They call them “resources.”
Because resources are:
Utilised
Optimised
Replaced
Not heard.
Many freshers/experience employees leave family to sustain your so called other taxi, food, cafeteria vendor's so rubbish idea.
Those oldies need to talk to girls in the offices that's the reason WFH closed and the properties they purchased beside of the IT parks and to get rent. Nothing else
At the time of covid IT business peaked why didn't failed, what happened the collaboration that time, what happened to other vendors fulfilment.
Many office executive are the backdoor of many IT vendors, food, cab, cafeteria, security, rents that's the real reason.

At that time the push was from government and to be straight, IT sector followed it.
The government has to make strict rules considering rising pollution, traffic and daily accidents.
One question : A rule made that - if an employee mets with an accident while commuting to office, the organisation have to take care of expenses.
Do you think - organisations will do this?
IT organization who mainly depend upon savings, will always strive upon savings, not by being employee friendly
Chief

Who is listening?
That itself is the answer — no one.
Let me ask a simple question:
You worked hard.
You stayed in an organisation for 3.8 years.
You made a switch.
So tell me —
why does the organisation keep the gratuity?
Why can’t that amount be transferred to a government welfare fund, or at least partially returned to the system that claims to protect employees?
Because the truth is simple and uncomfortable:
rules are designed to favour institutions, not individuals.
And here’s the harder truth —
There is nothing in your hands by shouting, commenting, or typing angry paragraphs here.
You are only spending your peace of mind on things you cannot control or change with opinions alone.
Change doesn’t come from noise.
It comes from a voice so loud, so collective, so unified that it forces systems to shake, crumble, and tremble.
And until that happens, everything else is just ventilation — not revolution.
So yes, if you are that person —
the one who can raise a voice strong enough to actually move the ground beneath these systems —
ping me.
I’ll stand with you.
Until then, don’t lose your peace over scraps you were never allowed to negotiate.
