Zimmerman Adv is asking 100% of employees to go back to regular office hours starting Monday.

Is this crazy? What’s the reason? Company has run so smooth WFH, don’t really understand the reason.

Zimmerman backwards is namremmiz, which comes from naham remmiz, that means “to queef on your serving brethren” in Latin.

Anthropologists estimate the origin of this word to go back as far as 3509 B.C. when hebrews revolted as slaves to the pharaohs.

Some of us came in, many others didnt. We got emailed mid way through the day that didn’t address the panic caused Friday but did say we don’t have to work in the building if we don’t feel good abt it.

Well, Florida is handling COVID so well, that going back is the only responsible course of action. /s

Huge, unnecessary risk to the business. Whoever is running agency operations and general counsel duties should be immediately shown the door.

It’s the same sad thing: an industry that preaches creativity, innovation, and disruption but practices “always done it like that” tradition.

I have been more productive, happier, familiar... there is absolutely no reason to have us go back to office, a power move from JZ maybe? To boost his ego? I am really struggling with this decision

This is crazy! They told us Friday afternoon, to just come back Monday! No consideration with anyone after 6 months. Not other agency in South Florida is coming back yet, there’s no need for that! Thank God I quit already I couldn’t be happier to leave this horrible place.

I would say this is insane. My company has had a plan since June. Much respect for them. They made a plan splitting the office in two groups, alternating weeks. Twice since June they’ve waved it off and had everyone WFH again.

I think extra insane as you are in FL.

Maybe they are calling you all back just to do a big lay-off? Sorry, this may sound evil. But they seem to suck so much, that would be true to form. And then those laid off are the lucky ones.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
