Happy Hump Day! Almost the end of the week. Its almost mid August and time is really going by fast. School is starting soon and I know my kids are very excited to return in person.
There has been a lot of calls at work on returning to work and while some companies are requiring people to return to the office, others have decided to delay. I for one am not looking forward to my long commute so plan on only going in twice a week, although the senior team is requiring 3 days a week.
I often hear them talk about flexibility and yet it seems that when someone suggests a schedule for them that would allow flexibility, there seems to be resistance in the tone from the manager during her response. It almost feels like the leaders want to come across as allowing the flexibility but they would rather you come to the office. Mixed messages in the email and in the tone of their voices during meetings.
I know what I want and am clear about not going in 5 days a week. If you are in a similar situation, stand up for what you want and be firm. There can be a lot of mixed messages from the leaders and sometimes they can also make you feel guilty but to that I say, don't compromise on what you need if you plan to go back to the office.
Sometimes we tend to want to give up and feel like we have to go with the flow, but don't feel like you need to if you are unable to. Stick to your plan always!
Have a great day!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace
