Employer offers to pay for petrol to stop WFH
The central government announced one of the steepest hikes in petrol and diesel in recent times resulting in retailers from around the country raising their prices to unprecedented highs. The rise in petrol of around INR 0.80 will have a rippling effect with the retail prices crossing INR 106 in some states in the country.
The move to increase prices did not come as a surprise with the Ukraine crisis in the world with the danger of sanctions looming right around the corner due to India’s non-commitment to openly blame Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. However, Russia has been offering crude oil to buyers at heavily discounted prices to ensure support at the UN. India, whose Russian crude oil imports are below 1% of its total imports have slowly increased its purchase considering the reduced costs.
An interesting take on the rising fuel costs came from a company in Chennai that did not wish to be named fearing that its HR department will be bombarded with CVs. The company has decided to pay for the petrol costs if its employees decide to stop WFH and come back to the office.
The Managing Director of the IT firm said, “We have been requesting our employees to come back to the office for quite some time now. They refuse by claiming that they are more productive and happy working from home. This has created a huge issue for us as we are not able to do any office politics. There are so many aspects of work life that are getting affected.”
We had earlier reported that some companies were offering incentives to employees to come back to work but this seems to be an earnest attempt to maintain office culture.
“Our HR team is unable to organise pointless training and seminars making it difficult for them to socialise and show off as to how much better their work-life balance is. Our admin team is unable to point out errors and insist on mindless paperwork. Our finance team is unable to refuse payment of expense bills and our IT team has no one to talk to as no employee complains about the WiFi. This is affecting our office culture and we have decided to pay for a full tank of petrol every week for employees who will come to the office.”
