Some private companies in India who can manage with work from home , especially the IT sector and telecom department (UK based) are planning to open their offices in Bengal (Kolkata). When the spread of covid is on the rise and politics is going on with the vaccination drive will the Indian heads sitting in these companies take the life risk of the employees who are working them?What right do they have to kill people?They are doing this only because they have to reimburse the internet costs and ISD bills of their employees.

I find when people get promotions and move up the ladder do not remember what it was like when they first started out and do not act not human beings and do not care about the people below them.

@Hannihar Yes, they are wrong and should be thrown out of their jobs for playing with the lives of their employees.

You are very right on that. I am not saying they were right. They were very wrong on that.

Based on my experiences companies are only worried about they balance sheet and numbers nothing else. Risk is in our hands, moreover they just want to play safe.....

Playing safe at the risk of employees life is illegal.

@aninditasen Very true, But companies are taking advantage of the pandemic. Forcing employees into unnecessary actions.

I work from home three days of the week. Work is sent via email and I review/draft instruments and submit to my supervisor for his instructions. I go to the office 2 days. The work in the office piles up though and that is the greatest draw back. But the work from home surely works and is safer but God protects me and I take the necessary precautions too. Oh! I get no extra towards bill payment.

That is mandatory in their office. These Indian bosses are not paying it from their pockets. It's the company's fund.

Yes, it is insane. They should be brought to book by their company and the Indian company too.

Yes, and the moment the employees protest they are asked to put in their resignation. Whatever the employees want to do- go to the human rights or the court they have to do it after leaving their job.

That won't change the situation. They should be made to pay heavily for their mistakes or I Indian government appoint some monitoring body's who will stop such companies from playing with their employees life.

They are cruel enough to risk their employees lives for the sake of money.

Yes, rather they should be cautious as the third wave is more dangerous as experts say. If people live then only the economy of a country can grow.

Sometimes profit and business is all that these people care for. But then we are living in unsure times and don't know when things would get back to normal. One has to start living with the virus lurking around. We fear few more waves around the world before this actually will settle down.

Thus the offices who can afford work from home should not risk the lives of their employees.
