What's the point behind this?
Why does location matter if employees deliver work without impacting quality and productivity?
In the so-called perfect corporate world with luxury salary packages, there are only processes and protocols—only for the sake of it, with not much sense!
All this is okay.
But given the market, they can find 10 other candidates you will come to office 10hr/day, leave at 6pm, and work for 20% lower pay and have 40% lower output.
However in the long run, they will catchup to your skillsets, they will have a social circle and life in Bangalore, live near the office to not crib abt traffic (or commute in non-peak hours), attend meetings with the team, train juniors and successors, delegate and rise up in the corporate ladder and retire before they turn 50 with good and deep connections with their work friends over their fulfilling career.
The less frequently you come to office, your day becomes increasingly monotonous, work gets reduced to tasks, job remains as a source of livelihood and chore and your attitude towards career becomes myopic.
Agree with your hustle attitude and I love how you only talked about career progression. That could be your only motivation/priority in life.
For most of us, work is a way to enhance personal lives.
When I'm at home, I'm twice as productive. No chit chatting with colleagues, no sutta breaks, no waiting for meeting rooms to get empty so I that I can talk to clients.
I even mentor juniors over calls and our team in India gets over a weekly meet with the team in another country and we discuss about each other's learning and market trends.
I see no point in going to office 🤔
An HR told me that it is also done to reduce moonlighting. A lot of WFH employees gets jobs in multiple organisations and it can become difficult for them to monitor.
Sounds like a fair reason I felt.
Ok, so hear me out (actually read, but okay!)
