Working from home due to coronavirus

Now then NLUK, play nice. This guy is clearly in distress and needs advice.

OP - ignore the haters, and follow Whorty's advice. He knows, he's been through it. https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...ml#post2739926

Please make sure that you talk to HR. It's what they're there for. To protect workers from unfair behaviour. It could be you're being treated badly because you're a woman, mentally ill, or possibly from an ethnic minority. If so, you should definitely raise that as well.

Also, mention that you may be "Trans" and that denying you the right to work from home is literally a hate crime.

Try to sound REALLY whiny when you do so for the maximum effect.

Good luck. And do come back to tell us how you get on...

Hi, I wish to work from home whilst coronavirus is a threat, however my customer says this is not possible as there is no remote access to secure network.

I have said that I can work in other activities eg documentation, familiarisation with system, online training to improve my skills etc, but customer says no I must be on site?

This is not fair, other employees working on non secure area are free to work from home? Is this discrimination and would I have a case for grievance procedure?

This feels like deja vu. Have you posted before wanting the client to pay for some online training you wanted to undertake?

Sockie check mods.

To give him/her their due, they've lasted quite a while without being booted. SOP is to post something f***wittedly dim, then sit back and watch the fun without commenting further.

So 8/10 for quality initial posts, 1/10 for proper trolling where you should be using follow-up posts to prod the outraged conversation along.

Could do better OP, see me after class.

FWIW, there are people who are that stupid. Since outsourcing began, I've worked with a few.

You forgot the 'snowflake' option...
