I would feel a lot more included with some free childcare

Time to move companies pal. That’s a complete waste of time for all concerned.

Some good content there from @TheUlteriorMotive

I would give some time to others to outline their own parenting/caregiving responsibilities (if they are willing to share) and/or experiences. ‘Let’s go around the room’ type of job

You can nod along while pretending to take a few notes and it’ll buy you some time.

This is the shit right here.

Firstly, make it a short meeting. Tell them beforehand its going to be short and stick to it. Get good coffee and a Hape of biccies.

1 - a little intro from yourself. How you have no idea why your the guy rhey picked and decent gags. Outline your own thoughts or concerns in the area based solely from your own experience. Shit that works and doesnt work for you… stress points in your week, concerns you have.
Get them to throw in a few examples of their own, just literally shout outs.

2-Break them into groups to brainstorm it on an A1 with a few headings.eg… the good, the bad and the ugly… add a fantasy section (what the compnay would do for employees in this area in a dream world). Or amazing things theyve heard from other people’s jobs… etc

3-bring em back and go through em together but quick. Note em down on a big central board. Loads of em will be same or variations.

4- send em back to groups to pick their 3 most importNt in each category … then their most important 1.

5- you have a list of biggest concerns, pet hates and a to do list for your entire area. Present to employer along with semand for more time off. Done.

This x100

I think a hundred times is excessive and would lead to boredom @Mac. To be honest i’m not sure if you’d unearth anything new between goes number 3-100 but im not sure how ye do things in the tech world.

You’ve become very cynical and angry pal.

It could be linked to falling testosterone levels at your age. That can be treated.

Thanks for great advice fellas. Some very useful pointers there.

Seem to be a few companies doing their “mandatory home workstation assessment” this quarter. I’d say it’s a smart way for the powers that be to force people back into the office full-time.

[balbec]

I can’t see too many forcing full time attendance to be honest.
We’ve laws passed to cover WFH here now and under that framework will specify one day a week “on average” for employees and two days for managers.

One day a week at home or in the workplace?

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Back in office full time will never happen. Too many senior people want the flexibility.

[KinvarasPassion]

Forcing a strange model in our place. Once a month you have to attend for 5 consecutive days. So home for 3 weeks and then a solid week in the office.
