Question

Soo my manager just had a baby and is out until Feb 1st. I met with our new temporary manager today and she was asking about the office. our company sent out an email 1 month ago saying all hybrid employees must be in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. My manager on maternity leave is fully remote and didn't care how many days I went in (usually 1 or 2). My new manager was not happy and told me I need to be in there 3x a week, no negotiations. I work so much better from home and get a lot more work done. I'm afraid if I go into the office 3x I'm not going to hit my goal because of all the loudness, office construction, and new team members who are constantly asking questions. How do I get out of going into the office 3x a week?? Going to talk with my new manager about this next week!

Accepted Answer

Depending on your attainment you’re gonna have little to know leverage.

Answer

98% of all putts that fall short of the hole don't go in.Don't be a putz. Go in.

Answer

where are you on the leaderboard?

Answer

Here's what I'd do:

Answer

Unless you can show measurable data that you are selling more at home vs the office you will have to go in

Answer

Sorry pal. Would love to be on your side on this one since its more convenient but, sometimes you just gotta suck it up!

Answer

You can lay it out, but do not rock the boat S you will be the person who is saying/doing the wrong thing. You don’t need the microscope on you.

Answer

Prolly unless you wanna take the chance of getting fired 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Just play the role til your original manager is back, don't rock the boat and burn bridges in the interim.

Answer

You need a lot things to go your way to stay remote. Top performer with a long commute that’s much longer than everyone else

Answer

If you have exceptional numbers and good reputation in the company, you'd get away with negotiations on staying home. But if your numbers aren't great enough, they will ask you to come to the office nevertheless.
Very less bargain. I personally have not experienced any employee getting away with company wide policy.

Answer

It's tough. My tendency would be to say that it is unfair as you had an agreed upon arrangement with your manager. But they are away now, and they can slap that policy in your face.

Answer

Office construction? I would leverage this fact to keep yourself at home but make sure to tip toe and be ready to do what they want until cool manny comes back.

Answer

(1) its temporary till the old manager comes back

Answer

As long as people are getting results at the office, you have ZERO case. How does that argument make sense? "Hey, I'm only able to drive results while at home while my colleagues produce results at home and the office" 😂 sorry but you need to suck it up. Work was not invented after covid. Love you tho

Answer

Sometimes in life and much more so in sales you have to eat the shit sandwich. going in 3x per week is your shit sandwich.
