I work a desk job and my role is “flexible working.” I was told when I started here 2 months ago that meant I could fit working in office and working from home around whatever I wanted. Awesome. Perfect for me because I have an unpredictable health condition, so when it flares up its best to be at home.
I work from home 2 days a week and in office 3, my manager has had no issue which days I choose and she just asks me in the morning if I'm at home or in office.
Well, last week my manager texts me and tells me she really needs me to come in. I tell her I'd rather not, I'm feeling really unwell and it's going to be a wfh day today. She reiterates that I'm really needed in office and she's happy for me to show up late. So I filled myself up with meds, knowing I'm going to be dealing with the side effects the rest of the week, so haul ass into the office at 10am.
Guess why she really needed me in the office today?
To fire me.
Apparently the time needed to train me while working around my disability was inefficient.
