00:00 - 00:03 | We closed the offices mid March |
00:03 - 00:05 | right after the emergency state had started |
00:05 - 00:07 | and borders were closed |
00:07 - 00:12 | WFH was our only option |
00:12 - 00:16 | We've had everything: VPN, Slack, Zoom, Jira |
00:17 - 00:19 | Those are gonna be useful |
00:19 - 00:22 | once we return back to offices in June |
00:24 - 00:26 | Even though the government plans |
00:26 - 00:30 | to relax the COVID restrictions shortly |
00:30 - 00:33 | the offices remain closed |
00:34 - 00:36 | until further notice. |
00:53 - 00:59 | Everyone who hasn't joined the company prior to the acquisition, out |
01:13 - 01:15 | That doesn't make sense! |
01:15 - 01:17 | Everything's opening now! |
01:18 - 01:24 | You don't have to wear a face mask in the streets |
01:24 - 01:28 | You can use public transportation |
01:29 - 01:31 | You can go to a swimming pool |
01:31 - 01:34 | and grab a beer with your pals |
01:34 - 01:37 | But don't you dare picking up personal belongings |
01:37 - 01:40 | without director's and facilities approval |
01:40 - 01:42 | We'd have to sanitize the door knobs everytime |
01:42 - 01:46 | Grocery stores do that and you can too! |
01:46 - 01:48 | It'll require actually doing some work |
01:48 - 01:52 | Keep sending e-mails with no details instead |
01:52 - 01:55 | That's a real added value right there |
01:55 - 01:58 | People sitting for 8 hours at dining chairs |
01:58 - 02:00 | using their personal screens and keyboards |
02:00 - 02:03 | kids requiring attention during the work hours |
02:04 - 02:08 | Companies across the country ranting about how much they save on coffee |
02:08 - 02:13 | and the productivity is through the roof |
02:14 - 02:16 | Giving us updates on what's being discussed |
02:17 - 02:22 | and actually being opened about it would help a lot |
02:27 - 02:29 | We'd most likely understand |
02:30 - 02:34 | But sending a survey with biased questions |
02:34 - 02:38 | instead of asking people managers... |
02:40 - 02:42 | New normal... |
02:43 - 02:47 | Google to give $1,000 for work-from-home office needs |
02:48 - 02:53 | Prusa Research increased sick days from 7 to 15 |
02:54 - 02:56 | Kiwi.com moving to brand new office buildings |
02:56 - 02:59 | And here we are, paying higher electricity bills at home |
03:00 - 03:02 | while the company pays for the offices |
03:04 - 03:10 | IT will fix your PC after the Windows 10 update |
03:14 - 03:16 | We did our best during the lockdown |
03:19 - 03:24 | Opened communication and honesty would cost the company nothing |
03:25 - 03:30 | If it's expected from us, we expect it from others too |
03:31 - 03:36 | Making the decision sure ain't easy |
03:40 - 03:46 | But it'd make some people happy knowing when they can get back to the office |
03:46 - 03:50 | for at least a few days a week |
03:53 - 03:58 | I even miss those damn overpriced vending machines |
