Wanted to start off saying I am an hourly employee and not salary. For the past 3 weeks I needed to do some work over the weekend for the C-suite officer. C-suite offer lets me know I can WFH over the weekends but I need to clock the hours. Awesome sounds like a good deal! My manager overheard this and let me know that she needed to confirm and verify if this was ok. Lo and behold she came back to me and said “I was not allowed to WFH, it was unfair to the department” because the other staff are doing the work in office.
Being honest I will clock 2 hours at home to finish up all the work if put my best foot forward then move forward with enjoying my weekend. Why would anyone come to office to do 2 hours of work and then leave? She is forcing me to come in but it is not worth the 2 hours so I am dragging the hours out and eating company time for coming in every weekend to make it worthwhile.
Commute is about 90 minutes round trip.
Am I petty or wrong for doing this? How would you guys handle this situation?
Please be brutally honest with the answers.
