Like most people, I work for a company that promises one thing and does another. During my interview a year ago, I stated that I was looking for a hybrid job and that this was one of my non-negotiables. They said no problem since the HR team works at home one day a week! I could have my one WFH day 90 days after my date of hire. That seemed reasonable to me. Got the job and 90 days later didn’t receive my WFH day. So I asked about it 2x in January and February. Still nothing. Fast forward to mid May 6 months later (so two weeks ago at this point), I FINALLY GOT MY WFH DAY! The kicker? I was just told today that WFH is going completely away for the company at the end of June and that I will no longer be able to work from home. What a damn joke…
I started an HR consultancy business (an LLC) two months ago and have one long term client who pays half of what my monthly bills are. I’m only working 5 hours a week for them which is awesome. I’m so scared to make the jump away from corporate to put all of my time and energy into my business and escape this BS… I wish I had the guts to quit and be a boss ass bitch full time. Ugh. If anyone wants to drop any words of encouragement for me, please do!
