Laing O'Rourke reviews

After a move to allowing more flexibility in working practices they announced a requirement to work in the office 80% of the time. This has been done regardless of the fact that many employees were employed on the basis of not having to come into the office anything like that often. This has been done when everyone has less money and regardless of the fact that it will reduce the likelihood that women will join the business if they have childcare responsibilities, meaning there is no way to meet the 50:50 gender split. They also removed company cars after introducing new, lower emission cars with far lower benefit in kind tax. This was done after encouraging employees to leave the scheme during the lockdown as they were not being used and had high tax.

Flexible working is being gradually removed as a standard. Currently being paid average salary for current role, but being asked to do work for senior role. Absolutely not being paid at that standard. Routinely told that I am exceeding current role, but no change to either role, or salary. Productivity is measure by hours in the office, not output. Company car scheme stopped, and no compensation for additional miles being put on personal cars. These changes are coming from main office.
