Working in a large IT company in the UK and my manager has been really pushing for a full return to the office with the “freedom day” our government has announced. After multiple staff quitting and a lot of bad glass door reviews theyve begrudgingly allowed certain teams to WFH for 2 days a week (after the whole company doing it fine for 2 years prior).
Annoyed with this I started to book my holidays so that I would be off Mon/Tue/wed, for the next month and a half and then working from home the last two days of the month.
Boss approves all the holidays I requested and then AFTER APPROVAL sends a notice out to staff about a change to the WFH policy to a mandatory 3 days minimum in the office no matter when holidays are booked.
I'm beyond annoyed at being forced into the office just to use teams like I would at home all day.
