I work for a relatively small company. We have three offices over the country and yet only one of our offices works on a hybrid basis - I think this is unfair.
Just to clarify my role is admin. My role can be done the same from home as in the office and all offices have the same structure, we are all exactly the same just in different locations.
All staff at one of our offices work hybrid (60 home 40 office) - capacity of the office is not an issue, their office is actually larger than ours with less staff. Their manager simply said they work better when at home with less distractions (as we would too as it can get very loud).
However in the office I work in, and the other office we have, all admin must work in office 100% but ALL other staff including managers can work from home whenever they please and even have set days to be at home etc.
I personally feel the company are treating employees unfairly, but I don't think theres anything whatsoever that can stop them doing this - unless there is?!? All employees should be treated the same IMHO but they are not.
Every single time I bring it up they make ridiculous excuses. I've asked to WFH before when childcares been a problem (over half terms etc) and they've said 'no as you will be caring for your child'. I can slightly understand that. But when I have questioned the fact the other office WFH and we cannot they have said we need more staff before we can WFH ... makes no sense? They've said some newer team members would need training to WFH, but yet we have no manager in office as they WFH, so they don't get anymore support being in office they'd still have to call the manager.
Anyone know where I stand with this? Do I keep requesting it for our team or just leave it as theres nothing I can do? Surely employers should have to treat all employees the same?
