A manager has recently been accused of being a “dinosaur” after confronting an employee about their tendency to go “offline” during work hours while working from home. The employee, who was previously granted permission to work from home three days a week due to childcare responsibilities, was defensive and sarcastic when asked to be available during certain hours. The manager’s request was made in order to ensure that internal clients and external stakeholders could reach the employee when necessary, as well as to prevent other team members from following the same example. The situation has sparked a debate on whether the manager was right to ask the employee to be available during specific hours or if the employee should have the flexibility to work as they please. What do you think?

WFH privileges abused, manager confronts employee, sparks office drama

Working from home (WFH) can be a sweet deal, but it’s a privilege that comes with responsibilities. A manager shared their ordeal with an employee who abused their WFH privileges and sparked office drama. The team member had requested to WFH more frequently to take care of their kids, but their behaviour had become erratic. The employee would go offline or away on Skype during office hours and was unresponsive to internal clients and external stakeholders, affecting their work and causing confusion. After confronting the team member, the manager requested a minimal working schedule for the employee to be available during office hours. To the manager’s surprise, the team member became defensive and sarcastic, causing tension and leading to negative comments about the manager. The post raises questions about the appropriate use of WFH privileges and the importance of communication and respect in the workplace. In the next section, we’ll dive into the reactions and comments of users who shared similar experiences or different perspectives.
