Sage reviews

Lying about what employees have fed back about remote work/flex. Presenteeism. Cutting headcount but increasing workloads on strained teams. Linking bonus potential to office attendance which is tracked by key cards. Utter disregard for your mental health, pointing to silly apps and ineffective “employee assistance programs” - all just check boxes to appear like they care. There are more trustworthy companies out there that will actually treat you like an adult and not like a child that needs minding. The CEO being in cahoots with number 10 doesn’t help matters as the prerogative there is to push people back to the office to line the pockets of the already wealthy.

They sent an email regarding a massive change to ways of working and returning to the office recently. They signed it off saying - this is the right thing for our customers and shareholders. The one thing missing, their employees. This omission speaks volumes. They know it's not the right thing for their employees but they're going to do it anyway. There was only one office that was at capacity last year. They are investing heavily in new infrastructure in North America. The result of this a global office recall. Of course they are spinning this as related to productivity and culture. It's hard to take that at face value when on an all hands they told us if you're not happy to go back to the office then there are other companies to work for. You have a choice to make. Which sounds like an attempt to attain natural attrition rather than ANOTHER round of lay offs. Equally, when the topic of career progression came up on another All Hands the advice was also, if you want a promotion, leave, go somewhere else. If they are so desperate for people to leave, I don't see why they would hire you at all.
