EMPLOYEES DISAPPOINTED​

Another Grab employee in his 20s told CNA he was “disappointed” with the sudden move, as the three-day work-from-office and two-day work-from-home arrangement has been going well for him.

“Whilst I acknowledge the benefits that face-to-face interaction brings, there are days when I don't have meetings, and do not see any particular benefit that work from office brings on such days,” he said.

He added that his office commute takes about an hour each way.

Going back to the office another two days each week would mean an additional four hours of commuting, he said

This "disappointed" employee should STFU. He should be blessed that he has a job with salary. If not happy with the mandate and do not see any particular benefit that work from office, etc. should quit and hide in your room.

There is a way for him to not be disappointed and stay at home as long as he wants - resign

This wasn’t an issue pre Covid. It has made people pampered and entitled to WFO

We should strive for a better working condition

I have a neighbour when she WFH can see her swimming 9-10am and in the gym 4-5pm. We got curious (and envious) so asked her where is she working - Grab.

I also wfh and swim during afternoon. Heng I not grab so still managed to do that this afternoon

 

[Forever84]

Actually go back office also good ma

Can makan all the free drinks and snacks. I think grab also provide lunch

WFO policies will create more business for Grab as people need to travel to office. It’s a no brainer decision that the service provider itself needs their staff to take Grab

Encourage others to move to 5 day wfo is highly profitable for grab yes

SINGAPORE: Grab will require its employees to work five days a week in the office starting in December, the technology firm told its staff during a town hall on Thursday (Oct 24) morning.

Employees confirmed on the condition of anonymity that the mandate will start on Dec 2.

They said that the rationale for the move - which was explained during the town hall - was to facilitate more collaboration and interactions in the office.

One employee told CNA that she had suspected this move was in the works, as the company had been “ramping up” returning to the office since the middle of last year.

Grab began taking a stricter stance on working from the office earlier this year, she said.

“They said there would be disciplinary action against those who don't comply (with return-to-office mandates),” said the employee in her 30s, who has been working with the company for three years.

most are fully wfo, only civil service, banks and certain overseas companies still got wfh

looks like the new trend is to be fully wfo with the big tech companies starting the mandate

News had been reporting experts says companies will lose out if they don't implement WFH. Grab should quit en-mass and go work for those with WFH. Worst come to worst, they can start their own companies, do a WFH policy and employ those who want to WFH.
