If you say "I refuse to return to the office but will keep working from home" are you quitting or is the company firing you?
- intrasight 3y agoThat is the key question. I expect that the EEOC and the courts will have the final say.
- vanviegen 3y agoI guess that depends on what it says in your contract. If you were hired pre-covid, you can probably be expected to show up at the office.
- Jare 3y agoThat can probably be described as gross misconduct or insubordination, and be used as a valid reason for immediate dismissal with no benefits. Then you'd have to argue that the company's demand was not reasonable, and then it sounds like you're pretty much in the same place as if you argued constructive dismissal to begin with. I have no idea if they're legally or practically equivalent.
