I've been working for a very large company for more than ten years. I'm one of the longest standing and best performing in the department. When Covid started last year, they dragged their feet but finally under enormous and very specific pressure, buckled and let us work from home. Even then, I had to fight and prove I had a condition that made me higher risk.
Working from home has been amazing, as I'm sure many of you would agree with. And I know it's pretty much a national fact that no employer gives a fuck and they're calling everybody in on the grounds of "everyone else is doing it". I no longer have (or need) a car. My dog is diabetic now, and being able to give him his shots during breaks is the only way I can see this working. I'm not trying to start any discussion on COVID or the politics/theories surrounding it, but all I see is stats going back up, and a prominent new variant that we're supposed to just not care about because it's not actively fucking up our community at this moment. I'm comfortable going out when I need to, I have a healthy and safe social life. But after demonstrating that working from home can be done completely successfully, why should I sit packed in a cubicle alongside 200+ other people who are under pressure not to call in when they feel sick? Of course, none of these will stand against the rigid HR department and the "rules is rules" approach. I've expressed these concerns, and they told me to call an Uber, get a dog sitter, and that "nobody's getting sick anymore".
This job can get pretty demeaning and I've been tentatively looking for an out for years. I see this as an opportunity to make a stand and put my job on the line to do it. When they give me the date I'm expected to return, as they have for many of my colleagues working from home already, my plan is to tell them I won't be returning. I want to make it clear that I'm not quitting, and that I'm open to keeping my job indefinitely so long as it's remote. This would put them in a position where they would have to fire me for not coming into the office. There's not nearly enough controversy around this, but it still seems like a PR land mine they should want to avoid. On the other side, if this is what it's gonna take to get me out of here and onto other pastures, if they fire me I get unemployment and possibly severance. This is my thinking, and I'm turning to strangers on the internet for advice because I am not an expert by any means. Have any of you tried to fight returning to the office, and if so, how did it go? Is there any reason why forcing them to make the move and fire me wouldn't be to my benefit?
