Well, we all have come across situations where our superiors take it a little too far to complete the assigned goals and targets. Trust us when we say we understand your frustration. In nerve-wracking situations like these, both managers and subordinates should meet at a common point and work towards the fulfillment of the targets. Recently, a techie deleted teams and emails after the company said straight no to the work from home policy. The employee’s reaction has gone viral and is being complimented by other people.
Techie’s Response To No Work From Home Policy
Earlier this week, a Reddit user expressed his displeasure at being compelled to work from the office despite a huge snowstorm. “My job recently told me that even during the snowstorm we got earlier this week, I am not allowed to work from home at all. Even though I work in IT and do everything remotely, they want me in the office,” the post read. Highlighting the absurdity of the situation, the worker described how their employment included activities that may be completed online. This raised serious concerns about the importance of physical presence in the office under hazardous weather conditions.
In reaction to the rigid rules, the employee chose to take a tough stance and remove work-related communication applications from the phone. “So I deleted Teams and my email off my phone. I am no longer available after hours,” he continued. The scenario escalated when the employee’s manager sought to contact him after hours for an important subject but was unsuccessful. “He asked why today and I explained to him what was told. I am not allowed to work from home,” the techie explained.
Users React
Ever since the Reddit post has gone viral, many users have come out to support the techie. This indicates how office policies and toxic work culture are global issues. Many people stated that bosses shouldn’t expect employees to be available anytime and anywhere. Some shared similar experiences and showed immense support.
Among the positive reactions, one of the users wrote, “And you should be fired. When you are boss, set the rules until then you are a replaceable widget-pusher.” This harsh comment has a separate section where users are trolling this mindset and idea.
Well, what do you think about this? Should employees be available 24/7? Doesn’t this bring out companies’ hypocrisy?
