A little rant. Based in NYC.
Everyone in the office at my job has remote flexibility. About half stay home always and the rest come in 1-2x a week. I do not have this. I am an assistant and expected to be in the office in case someone needs me to look at a file, scan mail, etc. very old school non profit. I don’t even have a laptop in the event there’s a crisis and I can’t come in/need to wfh like if Covid randomly restarted.
My supervisors usually come in a few times a week. Not sure if you’ve read in the news, but nyc is experiencing the worst air quality in its history. Our average is 30 micro particles and it’s been in the 300s.
Everyone who’s hybrid and my supervisors opted to stay home all week due to the air but I have to schlep through the smoke coughing and crying to go to the office. I usually don’t care that much about not having WFH flexibility, but this really pisses me off because of the possible health repercussions.
Needed to rant to people who will probably agree thats fucked up. My mom basically called me a pansy. (She works from home too lol)
