In countries with strong labor laws, that rapid dramatic unilateral change in working location itself would count as similar to a sudden firing without cause for workers who don't want to accept the change in work location, either for all such workers or for those who can't easily begin or resume a commute to the office on such short notice.
I wish the US had stronger labor laws. :(
- junofan 4y agoYou can make a constructive dismissal claim if permanent WFH was agreed upon. But doubt that was the case here.
- pessimizer 4y agoThe US has extremely strong labor laws in favor of the employer.
- ye-olde-sysrq 4y agoMy personal favorite one is where under at-will employment, either party can end the relationship at any time, which generally translates to: At any time: the company is free to simply make do with one fewer person and the employee is free to simply make do without affordable health/dental/vision insurance, a pay check, a retirement account, and other such niceties. Great deal. Very balanced and fair.
