What people are saying about Infosys

View All
a system engineer

I've only ever heard two types of opinions on this, what about yours?
So I'm working at a company that has an app for 'applying' attendance in case of WFH. You get 'WFH balance' in days. For ex: let's say I have 3 days WFH balance, which means I get to do WFH for 3 days. It will NOT count if I'm actually working on my work laptop or not. It all depends on me applying for WFH through the app. They give out limited WFH balance so that employees are forced to come to the office for the remaining days, which is okay since they have switched to hybrid model. But, if I'm not able to go to office and I don't have any more WFH balance, I will not be able to apply attendance. Instead, the app will force me to put leaves for that day. AND here's the million dollar question: if I had to put leave for that day then technically I shouldn't be working, right? But guess what? I have to work even though it counts as a leave! Wouldn't it be better to pre-apply the leaves and not work at all? But that's just how it is! I want to know your opinion on this.
