Lets show them some love and make others follow suit....
Just another Jhumla like your other guujju Jhumle baaz.
CAM mein they're literally calling up people and asking why they're not in office.
40 years ago you'd have families going "Dowry nahi chahiye" (but secretly expect girls family to give gifts and fund the wedding). In the next generation, the same families are splitting wedding expenses.
Point is - Unless there is some revolution, all change is slow, and all such changes start as a PR stunt / intent to brag. But then, the real change follows this.
You can't pooh-pooh the first step. Encourage it like mad, make SAM sound like the best fucking shit, sing praises of the Shroffs, other firms will face the pressure to follow and this practice will get entrenched.
If the public disses SAM, then even SAM itself literally has no incentive to continue this.
10 years ago, PR would have been around which firms billed extra during the Christmas period, ffs. Now, clients are getting the message that your work is important, but so are our people so your work will have to wait.
I for one think that even if it means that lawyers can work half days every day for the next week, it’s a really good thing.
The second bit of news is even more important. Recognising that offices should not reopen is huge. Management making sure that no partners can force associates to be in office unnecessarily, unlike other places where management is itself forcing associates to be in office unnecessarily.
here they are calling us alternate week and planing to open office with 100% for all days in Jan, 2021
AGBeee be like “Omicron? Covid? Dont panic! everything is fine”
So, what's the big deal, if SAM does this? They are doing what other professional services firms have already been doing for several years. But, good job they have implemented this now at least.
