I WFH on permanent contract for one of the big ones. I never been at the office, I was recruited online, had my interview online and gotten about 4 months of training online , some more to come.
It works fine. I am more productive than in an office.
Equipment needed are provided and if I need anything I can just order it without much hassle, on the company dime of course. Knowledge is shared between everyone and all information is written down somewhere.
So why are they doing it this way? They get a bunch of well educated people from all over the world. Great pay for the job, not so good if I had an employment in my field.
But everyone are happy since they can WFH. The company get some really good people. At the same time they are forcing some back to the office in other areas. Because well realestate , but also because they didn’t have the organisation in place before the pandemic.
The surveillance part is really not a hard thing for them to do, we are measured on all kind of things. I assume it’s harder for them to do this in other areas.
And those are the ones they force back to the office and at tha same time weed out the ones who won’t accept it.
Never going to the office again , I almost would accept a sale position over that.
Best advice I got is : If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly Can’t get up to go for a run? Go for a walk. Can’t get up for a walk? Stand outside for 5 minutes. I choose an outdoor activity as an example (fresh air helps), but I use this in a lot of different areas in my life.
