Hello – recently got a new job, about 7 months ago, about a month ago the CEO announced mandatory 2 days a week & that there would be a 'consequence' if we did not go in and they would also be tracking our keycard swipes to see how many times we are going into the office a week. One of the directors knew a lot of people did not like that & had asked for us to send him emails with reasons/exceptions why we wanted to remain remote/alternatives. I did email the director asking him for 1 day a week as opposed to 2 due to some family health issues (I don't have any doctor's notes), of course, my request was denied. I know other people got their exceptions approved (for whatever reasons) and someone on my team was also recently hired to be fully remote. They don't even have data to back up the reasoning, the reason is they think people want to collaborate in person & for “culture”. More than 50% Half of my team works across the USA so we will still be doing the same job just in an office setting. It's just very frustrating as some are getting to be fully remote and others are forced to come in, their response to that is pretty much 'too bad, deal with it”. I'm not sure what to do. The job market is not the best right now and just feel depressed that I am being forced back in when I can do my job, if not better from home. I do enjoy the job and have expressed my concerns to my managers multiple times but there is only so much they can do. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
