      New Office Mandate: A Step Backwards for Work-Life Balance

      Pros

      Great people – not so great higher management

      Cons

      I’ve been with the company for a few years now, even before the pandemic hit. When COVID shut everything down, the company did a great job adapting so we could all work from home. And guess what? We still nailed our goals and kept things running smoothly. So, I’m really puzzled by the new rule that we have to be in the office at least three days a week. It feels like a step back, especially since we’ve proven we can be just as productive from home. If some people aren’t hitting their targets, maybe they need a different solution, but it doesn’t seem fair to make everyone come in because of that. On a personal note, this change is a huge hit to my work-life balance. My family has grown during this time, and being able to work from home has been a lifesaver. Now, with a commute that takes me 3 hours and 20 minutes round trip on a good day, it’s almost impossible for my husband and me to juggle everything with the kids. I hope the company will reconsider this policy or at least offer some support for those of us who are really struggling with the commute and childcare. Maybe there’s a better way to handle this that doesn’t put so much strain on everyone.

      Pros

      Cons

      There is just no let up these days, everyone is literally working flat out to the point of burnout but nobody listens above our Line Managers. Every year we fill in Glint surveys but none of the more serious comments are listened to. The amount of work within teams is unmanageable with most people working way above their core hours but nobody cares - the work keeps coming - at what point are people able to take a breath and enjoy their role instead of the constant pressure? Progressions have been on hold for nearly 2 years - we are told by SLT on All Hands that this isn't the case - it 100% is the case - maybe they dont know whats happening at team levels. Then the icing on the cake has been the announcement recently about the move to 3 days in the office, this is a huge kick in the teeth for a high % of office based staff, its just awful. Its not helped by the fact that we announced a move to Cobalt prior to Covid which was upsetting for a large proportion of staff due to the extra travel time. The fact that we moved to a hybrid way of working post covid helped this situation a lot - then the move to 2 days wasn't too bad, this is acceptable but to then be forced to come in 3 days feels really unfair - for a lot of us we spend most of days on Teams calls so are often looking around for quiet areas to go on calls, its difficult to find these areas already so having more people in for 3 days is going to be even worse. Not only this but the coffee area doesn't cope well with the numbers now, so I've no idea how this is going to work out, or the parking. My final comment would be the disgraceful way we were literally shouted at like naughty children on a Global call about the move to 3 days - extremely unprofessional. That way of talking does not meet the Sage Values in my opinion.

      Pros

      Good benefits and alright pay, good development opportunities

      Cons

      There's a somewhat sinister "everything is awesome" culture that is difficult to challenge. Lots of square pegs, round holes. Management don't like to listen to complaints but are happy to reassure you everything is okay and things are constantly getting better
