There are no pros to highlight.

Instead, a policy that should have empowered employees has become a source of mistrust and frustration.

The hybrid work policy, introduced to support flexibility and employee well-being, is being widely misused, particularly by managers. While the process officially requires approval from managers and HRBPs for extended remote work, it is clear that some managers are taking advantage of the system for personal convenience.

There is a growing perception among employees that the policy is selectively enforced, favoring certain individuals while expecting stricter compliance from others. This disparity is causing deep dissatisfaction across teams.

The HR Team is completely aware but remains silent, possibly because they are also abusing it, signaling a larger problem with transparency and fairness.

Management must urgently recognize the seriousness of this issue. Continued misuse of the hybrid work policy without corrective action will only deepen the sense of injustice and mistrust within the organization. Immediate steps should be taken to audit current practices, hold all employees, including managers, accountable, and re-establish fairness and integrity in the system.
