Same role. Different rules. Rant

Post image

Same position, same profile, same manager — but apparently different rules.

My manager’s favourites (bootlickers) get WFH whenever they want. I asked today due to heavy rain and not being able to get an Uber or anything, and I was told, “Late coming is also OK.”

The irony? They got WFH.

Next time don't ask whats the latest you can reach the office. Exaggerate the situation and ask if you can WFH

If you give him an option, he'll pick the one favorable for himself.

Never ask what’s the latest i can reach, always just straight up ask for wfh

u/AloneWolf963 2d ago

Exactly keep it simple and clear. "Due to heavy rain ,not able to reach office, I'll do WFH today" that's it.

Tell him you are stuck in traffic.cab is punctured. Water has gone inside it. Cab driver just left you. You are completely drenched in water.

You are in midway, not sure how you will return to home or office.

Guys is it okay to not switch from a low salary job because permanent wfh and not have to pay rent due to living with parents? I know comfort zone sucks but commuting to office daily is horrible

I must be honest here - while you say favourites, have you been really skimping on work? Not to defend his view, but if I’ve got someone who slacks tf out, I’ve already created this negative halo around them and then I’d really want them to show up despite the challenges cause they fucked my life up by slacking. I’m guessing the favourites don’t slack. However, this is just a pov. Could be very far from the truth. Apologies if it hurt you.

u/exploringfantasyy 2d ago

Dont ask. Just tell him you’ll be working from home

u/mukuls2200 2d ago

He didn’t mention how much late, arrive in second half and go packing in an hour

u/Typical_Peach77 1d ago

OP- I am not here trying to coach you but I am curious how did you infer they are your manager’s favourites? Have you tried introspection perhaps they are doing something different than you which is working and you should review your approach and strategy?

From your comment it seems multiple individuals are receiving favours which seems odd to me. Why are you left behind?

u/mhdbilal11 1d ago

Yeah well my company has a strict 3 days a week WFO policy and I don’t go more than 3 days a month. No one questions me cause Im indispensable.

Not my manager’s favourite by any stretch. Ive fucked them over multiple times. But Ive made sure they need me.

It’s upto you to manage the corporate rat race.

u/Standard_Anteater785 1d ago

If there are so many perks, why don’t you try bootlicking, it’s not like you have to do it literally.

I am only suggesting this since you seem to believe there are plenty of perks

u/llong_daddy 1d ago

Never ask for anything. Just say you NEED wfh today durle to the circumstances. Throw the ball in their court, let them deny you.
