The company I work for i renovating the building and we were moved to a different office building. It’s maybe 10 more commute to get there, but not a big deal.

The new building has parking, but we did not get enough access-cards for everyone, so since I only come in twice a week I did Not get one. Direct boss said I can go to the front desk and they give me a card If there is enough room, which should Always be the case since we are all on a 1/3 - time working from home contracts. A little inconvinient but still not a big deal…

So first day there and the front desk Lady is very loud and very clear that THAT is not happening. Cards are personalised but parking spots aren’t… This is in an inner city so no chance to just park in the street… so I call my boss who redirects me to his Boss…who told me to park in our old office carpark (20 min walk) or a different location of our company (15 min walk) and enjoy a nice little walk… Pardon me? So I would lose 40 min of my working time? Can’t start earlier or stay longer because I need to be home when kids come home from school…

So I spoken to a works council guy… and he just told me to read my contract…

My workplace is in my contract as the old office. So my worktime starts when I reach this adress and ends when I leave there. So sure thing bossboss I park there and a nice little walk as working hours it is. Let’s see how Long I can pull this of until they react. Can’t really fire me since I am one of a handfull of experts in my country and the other guy quit 3 month ago.

So two weeks and 6 “work-walks” later, we get an E-mail regarding this problem from highest level boss. And suddenly day passes can be given out and everyone has to park at the current work location - even though they do not change the location in the contracts. (I live in a country where firing people is not easy) But the front desk lady I had seen before was moved to a different location.

My time sheets were revised 4 times now and show the walk as a business trip.

Boss Boss who would have retired in 8 month got the “golden Handshake” and will retired end of this month.
