The recent announcement about requiring employees to be in the office four days a week starting next year, along with stricter policies on flexible working, is likely to drive away many employees—especially those with families. Regardless of your experience, industry context, technical knowledge, or intelligence, the C-level executives are focused on cutting costs and seem indifferent to the impact. Rather than offering redundancy packages, they appear to prefer making conditions difficult enough that employees leave on their own.
I believe senior management understands the damage this will cause, yet despite recent surveys and employee feedback, they have firmly decided to proceed with these changes. There must be a reason behind this decision.
Be cautious if you're considering joining. It’s unclear whether the stakeholders have a long-term vision for the company. Look at the news from the past year and consider why they are prioritizing cost-cutting at the expense of their reputation and workforce.Just becareful when you join, not sure if the stakeholders has a long term plan to hold this company or not. Read news for last year. Think about why cutting cost at such at a cost of damage reputation and get rid of people.
Also if you are buyers who is consider taking over, please take this in consideration, the hardworked people lost moral here and I doubt Origin with current reputation could find talented people with current level of pay.
