Hey. My friend recently got promoted to manager and one of the first things they’re asking her to do is either figure out or fire one of her workers.
Basically, the worker is very new and it’s a WFH customer service position. She needs to be able to take incoming calls. One of the requirements for the job was having your own computer you can connect to a virtual machine through.
Well, when the girl started working a couple months ago she had a Windows computer but then she decided to upgrade and got a Mac. Our programs don’t work on Mac and this was made clear to her during her interview and when she said she wanted to get a new machine.
My friend managed to get her approved for getting a company laptop which isn’t usually given to her rank, so she can keep working from home. The girl refused because it’s too long a drive to get to the office to pick it up, and obviously refused to work from the office for the same reason.
Currently they’re having her do back-office work but it’s not the position she was hired for and she won’t be kept there long…
I’m genuinely asking, do y’all think this girl is just trying to get fired or is she worth fighting for? She won’t get any compensation due to the amount of time she’s worked here so we’re just confused as hell.
