Pros

Nice, balanced food, and a diverse staff from many countries.

Cons

Having to return to the office five days per week while coronavirus cases are climbing.

Advice to Management

We are in the 4th wave of the pandemic, with a third of new cases being UK mutations, and the staff infection count now well into 3 digits. Why are you doing precisely the opposite of taking care of your staff?

There is no case for "better communication"; over a year of successfully managing staff working from home has proven that. Even if there might be a slight inconvenience to the way we collaborate in certain situations, is this not a worthwhile trade-off in exchange for keeping everyone safe?
