Pros
Had a good work–life balance in the post-COVID period
Salaries are paid on time
Cons
The current work-from-office policy requires three days in office, even though the client mandates only two days
Certain flexibilities provided by the client (such as full work-from-home during Christmas and New Year week) are not extended to employees
Missing assigned office days can result in half-day paid leave deductions or salary deductions if leave balance is unavailable
In addition to half-day leave or salary deductions for missed designated office days, appraisal ratings are also affected by office attendance. This feels discouraging and unfair, especially when project deliverables, timelines, and client expectations are consistently met without any issues.
