A short tale, not too juicy but for a young post-grad who was new in the workforce, it was delicious.

My part-time job (60%) was project based, but after a few months I was able to add another part-time-position (40%) within the same team but with a different boss. She was a subordinate of my original boss who I had an agreement with, that I could work from home every Monday and Friday, something that was communicated early but as I didn’t have much contact with the team, I still came in most of the Mondays and Fridays, “for the team spirit”.

As life is life-ing, I had construction workers over and needed one of my in-office days to be WFH, which had never presented as a problem before. Apparently, me spending the previous Monday afternoon out of office (but still onlline and available) was such a thorn in my second boss’ side, that she had to shoot me a message saying I should think well about my work ethics in the future - Boomer vs. GenZ I guess.

So I agreed and never switched a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to a work-from-home-day again - but I also never came in on a Monday or Friday again. As it stood, that was my scheduled WFH day anyways…
