There’s a ton jobs, including mine, that require people to be on-location. Aircraft mechanics can’t exactly bring the plane home. Retail employees can’t sell stuff from home. Manufacturing and construction jobs (aside from maybe some planning and design?) can’t be done from home, etc. I often wonder, when I’m sitting in traffic, how many of these other people have the ability to do their jobs from home, but can’t because their upper management is forcing them into the office.

Most off this subreddit have a shit attitude. What motherfucker is 30 days a year sick? Yes shit employers exist, yes. But shit employees also exist plenty. And i believe that 80-90% off this subreddit is just fundamentaly lazy, and it isnt the fault of the company. How can you hangout 45 minutes a day at the toilet and then except to be treated well? Its like spitting in someones face and then complain that they treat u like shit. Its absolutely insane. I wanna clarify, i feel for the real good employees that suffer.

Had some recent call reviews with newish manager. Agreed I had established good rapport, asked lots of business questions, and made offers. On one which got abruptly ended early she asked me what I could have done better and I said I could have asked some questions and made offer sooner before he had to abruptly go. On another same feedback but she gave me some questions I could have also asked. A few days later coaching recaps would come through and it was completely different, saying I hadn't asked questions to lead to a bundled offer. I brushed these aside until last week. I asked her on the most recent coaching report if we could review the call, so we did on Friday, which showed some of what she wrote was wrong. I asked her some followup questions and eventually she got upset and told me she was warning…

Please let me know if this isn't allowed and I will post elsewhere. I see a lot of posts about requiring employees to go into the office. If you have a disorder/disability that makes going into the office difficult or makes it hard for you to be productive, please look into having an ADA Accommodation. You will need a doctor/provider note and your doctor to fill out paperwork, but if you have a reason that falls into the American Disability Act, please look into it. I hope this helps someone else as it took me a while to realize that having ADHD and going into the office wasn't working for me that we have options.
