Pros

It's a mix of work at home and office. S

Cons

Many companies changed to full time at home not hybrid. With savings on gas it was like getting a raise taken away when company went hybrid from working full time at home during covid. The $60 plus a week on gas was a savings and zeiss didn't have to spend a dime. Now with hybrid its like taking that raise you had for several years away. Most jobs could be full time home without problem.

ZEISS Group Response

Thank very much for taking the time to give us a detailed feedback. The regulations for mobile working depend on the position. We understand that there may also be economic reasons for working from home. However, there are also employees for whom personal interaction in the office or a suitable working environment away from home is important. Your Team ZEISS
