Sometimes, employees may be required to attend in-person meetings on a certain day of the week.

Perks of living in Dhaka City
Take the recent and absurd fuel price hike, for example. The country's people are focusing on and monitoring how we, the citizens of Dhaka, will handle this situation so they can follow suit.
