Antiwork

Accepted position with a new company with the condition I would work remotely more than working in office, within 3 months my manager is reconsidering working remotely at all.

This is absurd. I did everything “right”; was abundantly clear with my recruiter, current manager, and all people who interviewed me that working remotely was a priority, I have operated within the bounds and conditions he provided me (let him know at the beginning of the week which days I would be working remotely, do touch bases when I'm working from home, video on, etc), and have even been in the office WAY more than being remote because I was learning the position the last couple of months. And then he has the audacity to say “we will lose the ability to work remotely if we don't scale it back”. Motherfucker I have been scaling it back, we agreed I would be working remotely 3 days a week when I figured things out and its been 1-2 days at most every single week, with some weeks me being in office…

Just another reminder that you can do absolutely everything “right” and “correct” with your employers but they will not hesitate to fuck you if its even mildly inconvenient. I've been putting in 60 hours week and doing tasks outside of my actual scope of work, but they could not care less. I will now be putting in the absolute minimal amount of effort in and if the ability to work remotely changes I will be quitting with 0 notice.
