I dislike the company because they have an awful culture.
For instance, my employer has lost the plot with this whole return to office.
At the end of January, in accordance with government guidelines, we were told to come into the office once a week starting Feb. 1st and that starting March, we'd need to come in 2-3 times a week. I complied with the rule and showed up once during the week of Feb. 1st. Unfortunately, due to a passing in my immediate family, I was off for a month and only returned during the first week of March. In the meantime, my manager and their manager left the company.
During my absence, I personally had no idea what was going on at the office whether the other analysts from my team we coming in or not. I'm not the manager, so quite frankly, it is not my problem to monitor presence. During the week of my return to work, I worked from home (honestly, I'm still grieving and couldn't make my way to the office). Since there is no one managing us really, I didn't know who to even talk to.
It appears none of my co-workers showed up to the office during my absence. They all kept working from home and we were summoned to a meeting with some function head overseas the same week I returned from leave. The function head said we needed to come into the office twice a week and it is "expected", but not a requirement, but we still need to come in because apparently, our local senior management complained they haven't seen us in the office. Then, some idiot in our team said: "I came in in December, but I can understand it raises red flags if no one comes in". This idiot mentioned December, but the government was still mandating everyone to work from home at that point. Plus, he didn't need to throw us under the bus.
Fast forward, it appears during the week of my return (last week), they asked some overseas stakeholder to visit our office without telling us (we had multiple calls with this stakeholder and they never ever mentioned they were visiting). This person ratted the team out saying we're not coming in and now it's turned into one big thing. I went into the office this week and surprise surprise, no one from my team was there aside from me, the visiting stakeholder and some VP. Then the VP approached me and said: "Yeah, there are talks that you guys, the analysts, are not coming in and it's not good". I told him, well "I was off for a month for personal reasons, which you are aware you, and only got back last week, so it makes sense I wasn't there".
I can appreciate they want people to come back in but you can't put everyone in the same basket. I didn't come in because I was off and I literally started coming back in within 10 days of my return from leave. Sending someone sneakily to check if we're coming in is bad form and the VP saying "there are talks analysts are not coming in" is not my issue. They've literally lost the plot - seriously. We have a team call at 9am on Monday, presumably over this.
