The executive leadership team is willing to cut of their nose to spite their face. Instead of offering flexible or remote work options, the CEO is more concerned with filling up his giant campus and parking lots, seemingly only to boost his ego. While the vast majority of corporate employees are being forced to return to the office by August, certain departments have been given special treatment and were offered options to work from home most days of the week.
When department leadership is pressured on this topic, they respond with canned, political type answers. It seems as if the executive team has issued a gag-order on the topic entirely. There is no acknowledgement of the fact that many employees do not wish to return to the office and no real reason given as to why we cannot continue working from home, as we have done since March 2020. Earlier in 2021, the CEO bragged about how productive our workforce had been despite not being in the office, but none of that seems to matter now.
Many employment offers are being declined by candidates due to the fact that Paycom does not offer a remote or flex work option. Turnover, especially amongst those of tenure, is at an all time high. We are expected to sit at our desks on Zoom meetings in business casual clothes, surrounded by plexiglass upon our return to the physical office.
For a company who claims to be so cutting-edge, it is seriously disappointing that Paycom cannot keep up with the times (and competitors) when it comes to respecting the choices of the workforce. All empires fall, will this be Paycom's?
