So when I started at Suncor it was 100% work-from-home until April when it was 3 & 2. We were able to pick our days at home so I selected Monday / Wednesday. Starting tomorrow, Freddy Kruger is forcing everyone back to work five days a week. I have a big problem with it … our refineries are Edmonton, Sarnia, Montreal, and Denver. The licensors / EPCs are located in Chicago, Houston, California, Edmonton, etc. meaning Teams Meetings. So I ask you … what is the benefit of being in a cubicle downtown other that to be micro-managed? Yeah I believe I am done with big corporations !!!

Crying because you actually have to go to work! Hilarious! Would you stay home 40% of the time for 40% less pay? This is how life works. What a knob gbblr.
Boomers are in their 20s now?
FOUND THE BOOMER
Thanks boomer. That must be why none of the world's top performing organizations are back in the office 5 days a week..
People complaining about WFH…go work for a different company? Suncor has the right to dictate terms of employment. I agree the majority of WFH’ers do far less and offer far less value and collaboration than people working together on a daily basis. That is for sure the case with my team. Happy to see everyone back.
Really stupid previous comment about lack of productivity when working from home from a stranger posting this message.
But seriously speaking, hybrid work schedule is the best except for those who need to meet daily or service any equipment. That's why they work on shift basis.
The problem is that that HUGE amounts of people never actually worked while they were at home. They would take naps, be offline for hours at a time, head to the store at 10 a.m. ...anywhere but actually working.
And yes...I saw this first hand...Someone actually tried to attend an online meeting once and was busted as they accidently turned on their camera on their phone and you could see the back seat of their car...
Do you have zero tenure. Got it. Welcome to the real world kiddo.
The hope is that people quit and they have to pay less severance.
They want you to spend time in traffic, but gasoline for your car or bus pass and buy coffee on +15 . But seriously speaking this is crazy. There’s no need to be 5 days in the office. I think you can work with your manager to see if there’s some flexibility.
I totally agree. This is going backwards. Not sure, how with reduced resources and no considerations to the work, I am pretty sure in couple of years, Suncor will not be able to compete and I.e. the purpose of all this craziness!!!
