Pros
I’ve been with Expeditors for 15+ years. I was so proud of how the company handled Covid to start. Sending employees to work predominantly from home was a huge leap. I felt like the company valued me and my safety with how quickly we were pushed out of the office. I would have never imagined that it would even have been possible. People using home computers?? With token access?? Unheard of. But smart.
Cons
Once the dust was off of WFH, and found out how much more productive I was, how much more connection I felt with my team, it was clear from the CHQ messaging that this was a “temporary” move. Every communication reminded us. Now CHQ is coming back, and branches are starting their plans to be 100% back in the office, but don’t worry folks! Even though you have proved yourself capable, we are stuck in 1997 and we will throw you 26 WFH days, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wear a tie!
