lots of the comments here focus on freelancing vs perm. Organisations of all shapes and sizes make irrational choices like this all the time. RTO - overwhelmingly unpopular with the workforce, with seemingly no tangible upside, being enforced all over the place "just because" (my pet theory is that those paying like to see the bums on seats, to look out over their empire, but just cant bring themselves to admit it). startups looking for senior engineers and cant compete on price ... why not offer a pro-rata 4-day week? the "big boys" aren't doing that, and once you have a 4 day week its very hard to give up. "oh no we cant possible we have far too much to do". yes becuase 4 out of 5 days is worse than 0 out of 5.... im sure there are millions of such "irational" things which pretty much boils down to the fact that no one actually made a choice. Its all product of circumstance, how its always been done, what everyone else is doing, mixed with a bit of "well why should they get it if I didn't for all my previous 25 years of working" </rant> update: typos |
