Who TF is using up an entire PTO day so they can sign off on a package when they are literally already home?
It takes me longer to take a shit than it does to sign for a package.
And It definitely takes Debra in Product Management longer to get to the point than it does for me to let a plumber in, and out.
This honestly doesn't sound like much flexibility at all. If you need time to take ahit - you use your 4 days of PTO. If the company needs time to take a shit on your head - you work late.
Sorry I mean in the new RTO mandate, that is what is now done. Not allowed to WFH for one of those days, to take care of a ~15 minute interruption. Now it costs a PTO day (and the resulting delays of business stuff by an employee off for a day, doing 0 work).
It absolutely is not flexible. And it will harm the business as a result.
Ah okay it makes sense now. Sorry read it wrong.
Yeah they shoot their own foot a bit
If they're going to be pedantic about every little penny, every second. Well... Two can play that game.
Sorry you're dealing with that.
