Minpunten
The recent mandate requiring a return to the office three days a week highlights a fundamental disconnect between leadership and employees. The CEO’s remark—“We will not be giving any more money because this is the money you would have used anyway before COVID”—fails to account for inflation, rising living costs, and the financial stagnation many employees face. This is the same CEO who, during the COVID layoffs, lamented his inability to go skiing while colleagues with mortgages and families were losing their jobs. It is easy for executives, insulated by their high salaries, to advocate for a return to the office without considering the disproportionate impact on those earning significantly less. The company purports to uphold the value of “removing barriers,” yet its stance on flexible working suggests otherwise. If leadership can so easily renege on this principle, it raises concerns about the broader integrity of their commitments. Furthermore, the relentless drive to increase share prices has come at the expense of employee well-being. Workloads continue to rise without corresponding recognition or support, fostering an unsustainable environment that prioritizes short-term financial metrics over long-term organisational health.
