Now the corp must have been sick of employees complaining as reason for not coming to office as “I am not coming because there is no fixed seat” ๐
So finally now I have a seat -and even thankful for good view of Elliott bay – at new floor but my PTO to Seoul started at the same day hence had fun time in finding this desk after the 3rd week of the move/assignment ๐
Experimenting out working at random spot at Bellevue Office – Quiet and nice work environments and frequent buses from home plus more reasonable lunch options vs Seattle. (and don’t have to face weird situations in Downtown Seattle)
Return to Office has started but I am realizing last 2-3 years changed a lot of things on “Work” ๐ Realizing lot of things has changed and some already “crossed the river”
This was a stone-in-the-stomach week for me at OCI…Luckily, I was not directly impacted, but I lost some of my good friends/mentors ๐ฆ
I guess now it is extremely clear that US monetary policy makers wants to control inflations whatever it takes – Almost all companies I know has been under the kind of hiring freeze since this Summer and now some went to rounds of layoffs, while housing market is totally going South thanks to crazy interest rates ๐ฆ
First visit to office after starting in 6 months ago… ๐ Great to see & meet people in real (vs Zoom or pic) and also match some voices with real faces ๐ Plus, first time to see my company badge working! ๐
