RTO = treating us like children

I was hired on hybrid (2 days remote, 3 days in office) with the option to work from home when I, as the NCP, had my tween on school vacations.

RTO began Monday, and it is a shitshow. There is already a debate over whether working through lunch and eating at your desk counts toward the eight hour workday.

There is also a strong likelihood that remote work during school vacations will no longer be an option. Here’s the thing: a summer program for my young teen is not an option. Full stop. Leaving said young teen at home alone for 10 hours (8 hours plus commute) is also not an option. I can leave the young teen alone to come in for a few hours, but not all day.

This is a shitshow, they’re treating us like children, and I’m currently searching for a new, fully remote job.
