So today was my last day at the office (atleast for a long time) as my current process, which we started in our office just a little over 3 months ago, is meant to be a permanent work from home process. The agreement was we have the training and a 2 to 4 week on the job training at the office and then send everyone home with the laptops provided. What the local upper management decided was that we would have everyone work in the office for about 2 months and then send everyone home. Being a new process, we need to be able to get some stability and with the overseas online help that we get, learn a lot and then go home.
So that’s that we started to do and about a month in, it was decided that it would be 3 months before we sent everyone home. By the middle of August it was decides that based on performance, we would send the 10 best home by the 18th of August and then another 11 by the 24th. That done we kept the remaining 11 and the newly hired 8 at the office till today the 13th of September. So today, finally we send the rest home and told them to login from home starting tomorrow (only those who are scheduled to work tomorrow). We gave up the temporary floor that we were using and I sent the email to the team that the access was to be revoked for all of us.
We said our goodbyes and took a few photos and I came back home. So now I relax for the weekend and we also have the major state festival this Sunday. Monday onwards I will login only from home and maybe from a cafe once in a while. Finally!
