Yes this is as dumb as it sounds
I work at a law firm and we are 4 Days in/1 day from home. This happened after months of begging. When me and my co workers took the interview, we were all told that as long as certain expectations were met we could work from wherever, whenever. Of course this was a bold faced lie. After months of asking we finally got a day a week, which has been very helpful mentally.
There has been several occasions when someone in the dpt has wanted to work from home so that they can avoid taking a PTO day. The boss will not let anyone take more than one day a week which is the oddest thing ever considering she does not even confirm our in office presence on a daily basis and even check on us. Anyone else find this extremely odd and controlling?
