This month we moved to our new building. It is not yet finished with the fourth floor still under construction. We had a lot of misgivings about making the move at this time because the infrastructure is not yet complete. There are no phone lines and no Internet connection, which are very important in order to stay connected to our clients. Another concern was the security of our equipment. Proper fence installation has not been done yet and the glass windows still have no grills. These windows seem like an open invitation to burglars to help themselves to our computers and other machines. There are guards on duty but this is still inadequate. However, we did not take into account that the construction workers are in the premises 24/7, thereby making it hard for burglars to strike, I hope.
We are still getting used to our new office and so far have made three rearrangements in our office layout, which is also temporary because the provision of permanent office furniture is still up for bidding. This move has not really been thought out properly but what can we, the employees do if the higher ups decide arbitrarily? We have to follow their whims reluctantly and with a lot of grumbling.
