Before work-from-home structures became popularized in more recent years, it was expected that employees enter the office, in person, every day. Of course, a lot has changed since then, so there's a bit more leniency when it comes to on-site, remote, and hybrid companies. Finding a remote-leaning position 10 years ago sounds like a fluke — the term “remote” was barely thrown around back then. Even then, finding a work-life balance when working from home is difficult at times because there is no physical separation between “work you” and ‘home you". This balance is even more laborious when your bosses expect you to work in the office and work from home. With no overtime.
The employee in this story was looking for a job with a lenient WFH policy. In his last job, the policy was beneficial for him and the reader can infer that his position does not require him to be in office, anyway. Well, when he finally landed a job offer, he asked about their WFH policy and was met with a stone wall. They strictly prohibited the concept, and though OP was bummed, he decided to take the job. After initial training and knowledge transfers, this employee was assigned 80 hours worth of tasks and was expected to finish them in six days. He was not offered overtime and management expected him to bring his work laptop home. This is where it gets fun. Wasn't he strictly prohibited from WFH? Or does that only count when he's working during company hours? No extra pay for 12-hour work days? Read the rest of the story to hear it from OP.
