Comment by bulwark@lemmy.world on Not allowed to work from home

The policy is you can only work from home when it benefits the company, not you.

I’m learning that the hard way. Started working for this company 2 hours from home,because I could WFH 3 days a week. Now they want me to come in 4 days a week. So I’m looking for a new job now. Which is a shame, because I do like the job.

What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.

Doesn’t mean they won’t change their mind but maybe I’ll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.

Good tip, I’ll double check that

We need the update more than a windows user need a rollback.

most hires don’t get contracts

edit: in USA. we get offer letters, take it or leave it. your job duties can change on the fly, no “contract” to abide by. do the job or leave/get fired. there is some negotiating room, but not a lot

Huh? All jobs come with an employment contract.

You must not be in america. We’re lucky if we get breaks.

Land of the free and all that. Free from paid healthcare, a decent public education, a strong voice in government, an impartial justice system, employee rights… With all this freedom, it’s hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

So if the employer suddenly decides to e.g. start paying you less, how do you prove how much your pay should be?

I’m an American and I’ve always had a contract. Even in retail. Of course the contracts are all bullshit and just a waiver of my rights.

That’s cute you believe that

My dude, we’re talking about remote work office jobs. Not some random under the table shit.

The term of art in employment law is “constructive dismissal”
