Pros
Very few now they have changed flexible working
Cons
The recent announcements on the removal of Flexible compressed hour working is not on going to discriminate against certain groups but will put pressure on people financially in one of the toughest cost of living crises we have seen. Being told as a part time worker who works 8 hours days for 3 days to either come in for 3 hours on a 4th day or reduce my hours is not helpful. To be told that 7 hours a day only will count towards my working time and anything extra is just “part of the job” is a step back to the 70s and detrimental to mental and physical well-being. I thought I worked for a forward thinking company that values its employees but it turns out I don’t. Instead of celebrating being the 2nd biggest flexible working employer in the world we seem to take it as a sign we are too soft and decide to put in blanket draconian measures with no data to back it up.
