Great Benefits Great Team Realistic Timelines Good Project Planning/Process

Cons

Currently, there's a forced (auto-assigned) 5-day in-office week each month. I was hired without this being mentioned, and then it was implemented 6 months later. The rest of my team members are in different locations and are assigned different "connect weeks." Little reason is given for the change, and there is zero flexibility for swapping days. I can't guarantee that it won't increase to 50% in-office for everyone, as some teams already are.

Advice to Management

Connect week expectations are poorly communicated.
