[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre Covid WFH was already not working. My company did Friday WFH. But I was dept head.

I had four working Moms working for me with school age kids.

All four took Friday as a “disappear day”. Fridays were make breakfast kids, go to school bus stop kids, Doctor appointments, after school play dates. Maybe catch up on shopping for weekend.

I had one when leaving with only one elementary school kid actually told me Friday was as follows. 
Take kid bus, Starbucks and gym, 
Go home check work, go to lunch friends or doctor or dental appointment, car serviced. for herself ot r supermarket, 
Pick kid up school and since always working take kid out ice cream or movies etc.

She was worse but all four similar effort. I caught them even leaving laptops at work sometimes and just on phone email.

I lost 20 percent work when we went to Friday at home. And I worked every Friday in person even though not required by myself.

Was HR idea.

And after me being anti WFH I got forced to WFH on Covid and I was an equal goof off.

There is something about showering, shaving, going to office puts me in mood to work. Human nature [/quote]

This whole thing reads like the ramblings of some boomer male who hates working moms. So your employees walked their kids to the bus in the morning and used that day to catch up on doctor’s appointments or car service (presumably they’re allowed a lunch break and had some extra time built in their day from not commuting). The horror. And wow they went to Starbucks for coffee? Isn’t going to coffee shops and propping up commercial leases the whole point of this RTO bid? What is the difference to you if your employees grab coffee at the Starbucks by their house or by your office? Or are you some weird micromanager who doesn’t want people to take coffee breaks?

Also, men who work in offices have been using Fridays to go golfing and to long client lunches for decades. For some reason I doubt you have the same level of disdain for them.

If they were overall good performers then maybe HR was onto something with trying to keep up with industry benefits for morale/retention purposes. And if they weren’t good performers then I doubt just Friday was the only day they were underperforming. As department head, why didn’t you do a better job managing?[/quote]
