i work at a call centre taking calls about different types of insurance and compared to my previous jobs of working in bars, it’s relatively easy. wfh suits me really well as an introvert. i wake up, log in, switch my brain off for 8 hours and then log out and relax.
one of my issues is i’m one of the only members of my team who works from home, but my manager does not like wfh personally and therefore thinks it’s impossible for anyone else to like it. every time i go in for a meeting she mentions me moving to into the office or even to hybrid but i have stated how much i enjoy it. when i work in the office my metrics are way off and i work more productively from home anyway.
i went into the office for my monthly review today, where i was to be rated on my performance and see if i’m eligible for a raise. my boss explained that all my metrics are really good and i’m improving in most areas but there’s still somethings i need to work on.
one of the areas i need to work on is “team bonding”.
she said as i’m only in the office every month or so i need to make more of an effort when i’m in the office. she cited the fact that i go out of the office at lunch instead of hanging out with the team in the canteen, and the fact that when i work in the office i usually take a couple hours holiday to finish early.
this really annoyed me, if i can work from home effectively without “team bonding” why do i need to bond with my team? i’m not the most sociable person and that’s one of the reasons wfh suits me well. when i’m in the office, i’m not rude to the team but i don’t exactly feel the need to have idle chat either.
i don’t really know what i’m expecting to get from this post, more of a ramble rant than anything. but if anyone has any tips on how to deal with a manager who dislikes WFH, how did you deal with it?
