Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their work problems, office experiences and workplace concerns. Various subreddits have sprung up where employees can anonymously share their stories, ask for advice and connect with others facing similar challenges. Recently, a Reddit user expressed his frustration over his employer’s sudden decision to end their work-from-home (WFH) policy. In the post, the user who goes by u/whyhilist online revealed that they started working for the company less than a year ago and only turned down offers because their current firm offered remote work. The user also explained that chronic pain management and avoiding a daily commute were major reasons for initially accepting the job.

In their post, the original poster revealed that the company cited the need for “team building” as the main reason for the policy change. The employee also mentioned that many of their colleagues have already quit because of the policy change. “People have already started quitting. I wish I could too. Screw the companies that act like this,” the original poster wrote.

Since it was shared, the Reddit post has garnered over 7,000 upvotes and several reactions. In the comments section, while some users shared similar experiences, others expressed concern about the growing trend of companies reversing their remote work policies.

“This happened to me recently. In August, they announced that they were ending all hybrid and WFH arrangements effective September 16. I live two time zones away and were open to having someone remotely at my place of work, especially since they struggled to find. The local people. My last day was officially October 4th, and I’m starting a new job on Monday, but every time I think I have a good opportunity to move forward it falls apart,” one user shared.

“Don’t quit. Just don’t come in. If they fire you, sue them for constructive dismissal because they breached your employment contract in a major way by unilaterally changing the terms of employment,” suggested another.

“You and everyone else who has been called back to the office need to cut back on your productivity. About 20-30%. Between people quitting and low productivity, maybe the “leaders” who called for WFO will lose their jobs. Visit with people or take a long time to do things. When they ask what happened, tell them all the interruptions at the office are killing your productivity Keep looking for a job that offers WFH and quit without any notice,” commented a third user.

“Tell me your company wants to lay people off without telling me they want to lay people off. There’s a pretty good chance of that,” added another.
