[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to a lot of audit and consulting work and the happiest by far company for working moms I ever did work at and had longest tenured employees had a strict zero WFH policy. Zero Flex Time on start and end dates, assigned lunch hours and an assigned break. With only a max of 10 minutes a day personal calls allowed during work hours. No internet on work computer and no personal cell phone use at desk. In emergency you get call on work phone.

The women I say that as it was literally 95 percent Moms loved it. Had choice of 7-3pm or 7:30 to 3:30pm.

Most women picked 7am it forced husband to chip in an make breakfast and gets kids on bus. Mom just got up showered and left. Mom
Then got home in time around kids getting off bus.

Mom had time ever day doctors appoints, dentists, sports for kids. Work outside office hours prohibited. There was no home access to work systems.

Work was very productive no chatting, politics and ran like a clock. Bosses would be written up if staff stayed late. The boss would tell everyone five minutes before me time to pack up, get coats. I recall area I was auditing they literally pulled push me out door a 3:35 pm and door locked a d lights out.

What it showed me it is not WFH people want it Is consistency. Yes they have sick days, maternity leave. Personal days. But ZERO half days no coming in late. They are even had Floaters assigned to cover your job when you were on vacation.

I was shocked. I never saw another company do this.

It was a 7.45 hour day in office. They worked 6 hour and 45 minutes a day. [/quote]

That sounds like hell on earth[/quote]

Makes me think of children at a strict parochial school.  Or poor assembly line workers in a third world country.[/quote]

Yeah or a slaughterhouse or something.[/quote]

+1 I was thinking of a factory of some kind

But that's great the job attracted the sort of people who like a rigid structure, and no flexibility. How wonderful that a workplace that sounds miserable and borderline abusive to me, could be a panacea for others.

OP - I would find another job, if possible, unless there is something special about this one that's keeping you there[/quote]
