Title phrasing may be off so apologies in advance.
I’ve been in my current role now for 4 months – I’m entirely back office and not customer facing, and none of my team works out of the same office. We’re all scattered and communicate primarily through emails or calls, with occasional WebEx meetings.
I asked my boss two months ago if I could get a more flexible schedule that allowed me to be out of the office once a week, as I felt comfortable doing my job and wanted to enjoy the flexibility it offers. For TWO months I waited on an answer – she came back to tell me she isn’t ready to offer that schedule because she feels I have more learning and improvement to do.
In all my time here so far, nobody has given me any reason to believe I’ve performed poorly. My one coworker in my office says that the boss believes I’m their best new hire in a long time.. but she can’t offer me this one concession?
Is she just too old school? My entire role could be remote but all I asked for was one day a week max. I don’t think what I asked was unreasonable.
