The lack of hybrid or remote work options—despite clear awareness that certain departments continue to have them—has created frustration and a strong perception of inequity, particularly in roles where hybrid arrangements would be both practical and effective. The return-to-office mandate, without meaningful flexibility, has negatively impacted morale, work-life balance, and commuting burdens, including increased time, cost, and stress for employees. Additionally, workloads remain consistently high due to insufficient staffing, placing ongoing strain on employees and affecting sustainability and quality of work.
