I can see this as the main reason why. Top level executives didn’t even have a standard work from home exception for bad weather (I’m in New England) and we had to work individually with our direct manager to get WFH approved when it was blizzard conditions. Luckily my manager isn’t a douche.
For a tech company, they are very slow to adopt modern convenience benefits for their employees outside of “free drinks and cafeteria food.”
I work for a software company who bought a giant new building a couple of years before the pandemic hit. They waited until the last possible minute to let us WFH once the pandemic hit, and then as soon as it got better they instituted a “hybrid” WFH policy - in office 3 days, WFH 2 days.
I don’t understand why. The 2 years we worked from home were the most profitable despite a worldwide pandemic going on, and I felt most productive WFH. We have been seeing a lot of turnover since this policy has gone into effect (last 2 months), more so than in previous years.
Their mobile apps are also very lackluster and devoid of basic features. I understand that they are unable to open up to other mail apps due to the encryption, but for the past few years there have been little to no updates to their iOS suite.
