At any cost, 50% of these companies are eager to reopen their offices which have been closed since March last year due to COVID pandemic. They want to keep an end for Work From Home arrangement and start with full capacity again.
Vaccine arrived, Corona diminished:

Telangana Facilities Management Council(TFMC) has appealed to government to vaccinate the security and cleaning staff of the IT companies as they are said to be frontline workers in the companies.
Office better than home:
Employees say that office is better when compared to Work from home. ” We started enthusiastically when work from home concept started, but there was decline in the quality of work as days passed,” say IT employees .The lack of working environment and family commitments made the employees to distract from work. There is no time to relax and absence of colleagues also one of the reasons, said another IT employee. Working the whole day with frequent office calls and video conferences increased our work load and stress, said another employee. There were complaints of network issues also at home forcing all these companies to stop work from home. All are eagerly waiting when this work from home policy will end. Nearly 6.5 lakh IT employees are working from home right now. They strongly feel that office is better than home as there is no one to ask when in doubt and got bored missing their colleagues.
