This whole debacle has show just how weak the union is, I’m not sure why people pay to be in it at this point.
Well 2 days a week isn’t bad, could be worse, like 2.5 times worse
2 days a week is fine. But it depends on how far you are from location.
The main competitor to them asks staff to come in 3 days a week. Very hard to say 8 days a month is unfair.Ā
Edit: people love a downvote. Im not in favour of return to office but to be fair to union its hard to come out and say its unfair by BoI when other banks have worse terms.Ā
They just made Department of Social Protection back office go from 1 day to 2 days in the office, when they could realistically do the whole week WFH. Meanwhile front office workers only get 1 day WFH, and that ofter gets cancelled due to staffing issues.
Meanwhile AIB have been doing 3 since January
So they effectively just accepted a pay cut for any staff member who has to pay to needlessly commute šššš
Iād be telling them where to stick their deals.
Having to come in two days a week was never really the issue. Relative to other companies at least, it’s fine.
The problem was the way BOI communicated it, their initial insistance it was none of the union’s business, the obviously dishonest rationale for introducing it, and (more recently) tying it directly to pay.
It’s one thing to introduce an unpopular measure. It’s another to do it in a way that immediately makes your workforce massively distrust you.
I need to work for myself. These companies and their arbitrary rules can do one.
