Boss refuses to let employee use WFH perk, then proceeds to use it herself every week: ‘She used multiple excuses to block the staff from using the option’

Don't let them know your next move… or where you will be working from tomorrow.

We all know that bosses and managers never abide by the same rules as their employees. It doesn't matter where you work or what you do; the boss always gets treated like they are at least a little bit above everyone else. And everyone else gets tired of it really fast.

If someone climbed their way up the corporate ladder to reach a management position, it makes sense that they get to enjoy some extra perks, especially considering how hard they worked to get there. But as soon as that manager decides to purposely separate themselves from their employees, one might realize just how much these management positions can get into someone's head.

The boss in the story below, for example, has made it clear that she does not follow the same rules as her employees, or more accurately, they do not get to enjoy the same workplace conditions as she does. Even though the company offers all employees the option to occasionally work from home, this boss refuses to approve any WFH days for anyone on her staff. While other departments get to enjoy this perk, her staff is forced to come to the office five days a week.

Not only does she refuse her staff, but apparently, while her staff comes into the office every single day, she allows herself to work from home at least once a week. Her own rule does not apply to her, apparently, and whenever someone questions it, she refuses to explain her actions.

One employee decided to take matters into his own hands and confront the boss for her lack of leadership. Why should she enjoy this perk of working from home while the rest of her employees must work from the office?
The question is, will calling the boss out be enough to get her to fix her ways, or at least allow the employee to enjoy the benefits they are owed?
