It's not a law thing; it's just that others would start demanding it more aggressively.
You can say no and keep the house of cards up, but it's just adding tension to the employer-employee relationship with all the other staff.
- moe 18y agoI'd say if teleworking puts a strain on your employee-relationship then you have bigger problems. Why do some people have bigger offices than others? Why do some people have no offices at all? I have yet to see a company that truly treats all employees equal. That would be the only setting where I'd agree with your concern.
- abalashov 18y agoYeah, but there is a qualitative difference in the ideological implications of office size/placement vs. fundamentally not having to come in and be stuck somewhere for 8 hours a day. I don't know that the difference has a name, but it's a difference.
- moe 18y agoImho it's not really qualitative but merely a quantitive difference: Jealousity. "Why does he have a big office when I'm in this sucky cubicle?", "Why can he work from home while I have to drive to work?". I had a simple response to anybody who asked why I'm so rarely seen and why they don't get that privilege: As soon as you put in 50+ hours a week like I do and get up at 4am at least once every week to clean up the mess that you deployed... That was my story, others may be different.
