What’s everyone doing today? 🧐
I started working for my company about 6 weeks ago and I was originally hired to work from a specific location closer to my home. I was told the 1st day of my employment that the location “is not ready yet” and that I would be working out of a temp location further from my home. It has been really inconvenient for me to say the very least and the remote option is unavailable to me until after the probation period which is 6 months.How should I approach having this conversation with my director?

Yeah, I agree with A1. I’d approach from the standpoint of being the right fit for the role versus asking for a manager. However, you need to be ready to pass on the job.
Just depends on what’s important to you. If you really want to ensure you get the job, i wouldn’t say anything. Suck it up for a year and then try to move once you’re in.
Don’t fall into cognitive distortions. Do your part, don’t worry about somebody else’s.
PS - should I meet with this person before potentially asking for a different manager?
Just pass on the role or mention that you’re more interested in different work.
A1 has the right answer. Very bad idea.
Get over yourself and meet with the person. Experience isn’t everything

Ask for a different role, not a different manager.
It’s not the person you seem to have an issue with, it’s the work.
