I work at an insurance company as an EA and due to life changes I’ve had to move back home for 3 months whilst in between moving apartments. My two execs were fine with this however HR had to send a serious email explaining they will need to “ review “ me at the end of January to ensure I can fulfil my job requirements whilst remotely.
It is strange as they’ve allowed multiple senior staff to work for 9-12 months in other cities or to move with partners for 6 months but as I am lower rank they seem to be Karen’s about it.
Oh and I did my job well fully remotely for a whole year during lockdown and was awarded a “ star” award which comprised of a $50 Uber eats gift card (lol) 2 years in and no pay rise.
