Not coming into the office?

[justanothernamee]

I never had to go into the office previously, unless there was a need, training, colleagues visiting from other offices etc.

I now have a new manager (he’s new to the company) and he keeps asking me to go in.

I actually do like office days but he will just book a meeting room and expect us to sit in there all day. There’s no other colleagues as they are either global or work in a different office. It’s a 5 hours commute in total and easily costs me £60.

What does your contract/ company policy say about going into the office?

Have you talked to him about it and that it's a pain. It actually sounds like he's a bit lonely and wants someone to work with.

yeah, it depends what your says.

It sounds like a PITA but I suppose it all boils down to what your contract says as to if he’s being unreasonable or not.

It’s completely stupid if your whole team is elsewhere. Check your contract.
