It's a double standard though. I was at one of the big companies mentioned. I was the only one on my team in my office. Everyone else was remote in a time zone. My manager wasn't on site. But I couldn't work from home, and my desk space was reduced several times during my time there.
- supahfly_remix 8y agoWhat was the difference (in policy or whatever) that allowed your colleagues to remote in but you not?
- sampo 8y agoMaybe it was about their home not being a good environment to work (spouse running a daycare operation for kids, whatever), not about the company policy.
- pwinnski 8y agoNot GP, but many companies have a policy allowing employees to live in remote places, but if you live in the same city as the office, you're not allowed to work from home. The idea seems to be that remote employees are expected to establish a little mini-outpost of that company within their own home, while local employees who "work from home" are more often than not really handling errands or lounging or whatever. It's a double-standard, but a very common one in my experience.
