She assured me the environment is very safe and she does not know why I’m worried about the virus …and she can not let me work from home as there’s not enough laptops…
In my opinion as she’s expressed how safe it is
…she should come in and work in the office… don’t kbow why she works from home
Always found those in charge can dictate the rules but I’d be curious in your approach. If she isn’t coming in then why does she think it’s safe? Do you have a union? I’d be making some moves in that direction. Is there a human resources or higher chain of command you can address? I too would be interested in such inquiries.
She comes in once a week… i don’t know why she’s working from home… i had to go in and see her on a day i wasn’t working as that day she was in the office… she said she’d rather not exchange emails but then it’d make sense if she was in the office more
I dont want to fight anymore as I might be seen as someone kicking up a fuss
It’s not like it’s a deal breaker but I’d stand up for my perspective. What do you have to lose is the thing?
If you move on it’s no drama. If you stand and fight you might get some satisfaction. Sure. She’d be an ass I’d imagine and treat you worse but still. You could gain some. It’s never a thing without gaining or losing but I think you’ve a good argument especially seeing she’s not doing it herself.
Do you know what? If I lose my job, I will find something else. But I feel there is some injustice happening and I want to stick up for myself. I went into the office, and speaking generally to my colleagues, I said I don’t agree with not being allowed to work from home. I said I feel those who feel safe to work in the office should be allowed to work in the office, and those who feel not so safe should be allowed to work from home. I later told my colleague that as she feels its very safe, she should be in the office as it would help if the manager was in the office.
What was the response to saying all that @anon80629714?
So my colleague wanted to defend her she said everyone who wanted to work from home had to work six hours … she said the other lady also worked 9 to 1 as she chose to work from home for health reasons … so i pointed out that’s actually 4 hours not 6.
I am very grateful my manager allowed me back when she could have said no, but if I see something unfair I have a right to say it
I agree. It’s ok to speak up, so long as it’s not too aggressive because when women are aggressive it backfires. It’s not fair, but it’s true. So keep the emotion out of it when you speak up. It’ll go farther that way
