A WFH Policy, A Power Struggle, and A Long Weekend: Who's Right? 🧐
In our tale of office intrigue, a manager's attempt to offer flexibility in a challenging time has led to unexpected drama. Jenny, a latecomer to the WFH policy, chose the popular Friday slot, causing a strain on the team's resources. Her reason? A desire for a long weekend. When asked to switch days, Jenny complied, but not without a hint of resentment. Now, the manager is left questioning: was it wrong to ask her to switch? Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation... 👀
