The company that I work for (just until the end of the week now) has c. 20,000 employees worldwide and thought that now was a good idea to introduce mandatory individual forms for employees applying for WFH and only allowing up to 2 days of same per week. And this in spite of record productivity and financial results over the past two years.
Imagine the cost of processing these forms for even a fraction of 20K employees... BS like this is part of the reason that I decided to leave after almost 17 years. The bureaucracy and dysfunction is just soul destroying and I can only imagine how much better the results/finances would be if they just applied some common sense to stuff like this...
