No place to sit. Hello Gsk, do we need to sit in restrooms? Cost saving on seating? Shame on you.

Pros

I think this is a serious issue that affects many people, especially the elderly, the disabled, and the pregnant. It also affects the quality of life, the social inclusion, and the mental health of everyone. We deserve better. We deserve a place to sit. Shame on you, planners, architects, and policymakers who ignore this basic human need. Shame on you, organizations who prioritize profit over comfort. Shame on you.

Cons

No place to sit. Shame on you. I wrote to express my frustration with the lack of seating options in GSK GCC Bengaluru office . As someone who suffers from chronic pain, I find it very difficult to stand for long periods of time. I often have to look for a bench, a chair, or even a curb to sit down and rest. But more often than not, I can't find any.

GSK had great benefits and provided you with all the tools needed to work from home.

Cons

The leadership is overbearing and condescending. I left after less than a year - just couldn't take it anymore.
