Company Culture Is Going in the Wrong Direction

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Most low level workers are great to work with.

Cons

Requiring more mandatory time in the office is moving away from work life balance, which many employees value greatly. Many fully remote workers are allowed to stay fully remote - the same rules should apply to everyone but the 3:2 hybrid was a reasonable compromise. Moving to 4:1 is severely reducing employee morale and motivation.

We understand that shifts in workplace expectations can be challenging, and we’re committed to supporting our employees through this transition. Our move to a 4:1 in-office schedule reflects our belief in the power of in-person collaboration to drive innovation, connection, and long-term success. While the policy will remain in place, we’re actively working on ways to make the in-office experience as productive and positive as possible, and we welcome ongoing dialogue to help us do that well. We value your contributions and experience with our organization, and we know that adapting to workplace changes takes time. Please email us at gaf.hrparsippany@gaf.com if you have any additional thoughts you'd like to share.
