My job’s lease for the office was terminated. They were not prepared even tho they were given notice months in advance. We are split up, either we’re fully remote or relocated to a different office. They determined who goes where purely based off job title. My dept was literally split in half. Half of us are fully remote, the other half now have a doubled commute and we’re pissed.
Today one of the fully remote workers emailed me a bunch of PDFs and asked me to print them all, then scan them all to her in one batch cause she wants the PDFs to be combined. I said she can just use Adobe to do this and even provided instructions on how to do it.
My boss then responded and told me to do what the coworker asked. I ignored the email. Then I get phone calls and texts. “So you’re not willing to do what I ask?” I’m busy with my own work. I’m not dropping my own responsibilities to do the job of someone that can do it themselves from home.
“You’re not a team player” I gave her an easier, faster and more efficient way to complete her task, with instructions.
“If you have a problem with how our relocation process is being handled, bring it up to management” I have. Multiple times.
Got an email recapping our convo and that I am being insubordinate by not doing what I’m told. Cry me a fucking river.
