Not Allowed to Work From Home

Not allowed to work from home so I don’t My job recently told me that even during the snowstorm we got earlier this week, I am not allowed to work from home at all. Even though I work in IT and do everything remotely, they want me in the office. So I deleted Teams and my email off my phone. I am no longer available after hours. My boss tried to call me for something urgent last night and couldn’t reach me. He asked why today and I explained to him what I was told. I am not allowed to work from home.

A text post describes an IT worker whose job refuses to let them work from home, even during a snowstorm. The worker responds by deleting Teams and work email from their phone, making themselves unavailable after hours, and then reminding their boss that they were told not to work from home. The joke is the maliciously literal interpretation of the company’s policy and the resulting boundary-setting reaction.
