No More Flexing

Word came down that we are losing our flex option at work beginning February. When Angela took over as manager and had all her let's-get-to-know-each-other meetings, EVERYONE told her the ability to flex our work hours was the most important perk of the job - the one we wanted to keep above all others (of course, it's pretty much the ONLY perk of the job!). She was so understanding, totally got our desire to keep that perk. "Yes, I hear you.' And now we find out her response is, 'fuck you' and take it away - for the good of the investors of course. God forbid they get a letter in the afternoon mailing rather than the morning mailing.

Yeah, she is SO working to improve the morale of the team. Micromanaging, taking away all the secondary roles we have so there is nothing to put in our ISPs (which translates to no reason for decent bonuses), and taking away the few perks we have left after years of losing them. I guess the good news is that the only thing left she can do (without firing us) is to make the telecommuters return to the office. And that would only affect four or five of us (of course I would be one of those numbers!)

We were so optimistic when Doug was fired and Angela took over. Management saw our disillusions, they were going to fix things and make us love our jobs again. Right; rather it's out of the frying pan and into the fire.
