To be pissed off at inconsiderate colleagues?

[TreatTreat]

I scheduled a day off this week to wfh. I had importabt deliveries and stuff to do in my area after work. Apart from one other colleague who was away, all others were in. I've just checked calendars and others have since booked leave without checking anyone else's calendar which takes the absolute fucking piss as I'll have to go in as mine was wfh and theirs is leave they've officially booked. There will only be one other person in the office and im not about to leave them on their own. Its a busy office. I am so tired. This has happened before.

Why did you check everyone's calendars today? Sometimes it is better not to know things because now you have made yourself angry on a Sunday evening and can't claim you didn't know about the lack of cover in the office if a manager phones you when you are working from home.

Sorry OP but I’m not booking my A/L around your WFH days!

Same!

I'd be buggered if I'd let someone's deliveries and stuff to do after work in their own area, affect my annual leave!

And it would appear the manager who approved the leave would agree.

Freudian slips can be quite telling. Your colleagues quite properly booked leave to do things they wanted to do. Working from home is not "a day off" it is "working", with the emphasis being on work priorities, not things you want to do outside of work.

I was on your other thread about Calendar clashes at work…. Clearly you have an issue with scheduling

and so bloody cheeky too!!

That is a bloody good point! One to which you didn’t get a response, which speaks volumes!

I don’t think they have done anything wrong to be honest …… is there a rule when someone has scheduled to work from home, there must be adequate cover in the office?

Certainly in our organisation, WFH is completely at the discretion of your manager - if they want you in the office on a particular day for a specific reason, eg face to face meeting or in your case having enough staff physically available in the office to deal with clients, they're entitled to insist, and annual leave would take precedence over WFH. WFH doesn't exist to accommodate people's deliveries and errands.

I think you need to be careful using language like that. Was it a day off or wfh? Why woukd you describe it as a day off if you plan to do a full days' work. Carry on like that and the privilege of working from home will be removed altogether.

Should colleagues really have not taken their leave so you could wfh? If you're not off then you need to be a available to do the work required of you.

YABU to think you WFH means other people shouldn't book leave. You should booked leave yourself if you can't do your whole job from home and were expecting other colleagues to fill in for you by going into the office.
