Yup, my work pulled the same Bullshit. I can work from home and we all worked from home through COVID... But now suddenly I can't

So, there's been a few times where the power's gone out or something has happened that needs us at a remote location. They send the team home. The rest of the guys willingly go. I stay back and remind them that "gee, sorry. You guys have made it abundantly clear that I can't work from home. All those times I had to take personal time... So yeah, no. I'll just hang out here I guess until everything comes back up 🤷‍♂️"

Makes me think that with the hybrid they expect to have the best of both worlds, while in fact it will likely be the opposite.

Besides, with a mandatory fixed amount of days per quarter it gets soooo bullshit, it's not hybrid it's just barely glorified office work

Especially when the "hybrid" model involves more days in office than at home.

I guess execs don't work when they're at home and can't handle not getting distracted, so they just assume the same for everyone.

Wdym "especially", of course it does /s but not really
