Pros
Could work from home (mostly) Other employees were pleasant to interact with (mostly)
Kontras
The horrible IT setup provided. - Having to work through a remote computer with input lag and possible network issues. - All settings are reset every time you connect to your workstation, this includes basic things like the keyboard language. - Having to sign into all systems every day (and every time you have to restart due to technical issues). Uncomfortable Jabra headset. Super restrictive IT environment. - Not having access to basic things like Notepad. - Can’t use the inspect tool in Chrome. - Can’t even direct message colleagues on Teams. - Can’t use Task Manager (to do simple things like end the Teams process when Teams is unresponsive). - Almost all websites are blocked, including basic safe websites that commonly come up when googling technical issues. Expectations of coming into the office: - For things that are not mandatory to do in person. - At our own cost and time when the job already pays so little. - Due to technical issues with the equipment they provided. Why would I spend my time, energy, and money to go to an office because I was provided with faulty equipment?
