I had a 1 on 1 meeting w/my manager yesterday &she told me how Im doing well with all of my average calls, survey scores, & referrals. When i asked her if there was a potential to work a remote work schedule, she said "lets see how this month goes." Well today, One of the other managers told me they're letting all of the new ppl telework tomorrow since they have never teleworked from home before. She mentioned it because Ive been having audio issues w/my headset. (CONTD)

I agree with your mother. Don’t offer random information that they don’t need and never asked for. I’d also cut the cord and stop making decisions based on what your mom says.

As far as other people, they’re not you and “fair” isn’t necessarily relevant.

My father told me that at maybe age 13/14, never offer more information than what is asked of you. It never turns out well. I guess I was an over sharer when I was younger 😬

I told her I havent received the authorization to do so and that im new too and would like to try it out since I just got my internet setup yesterday. She said I should reach out to my manager to see if she would let me telework halfway through the day after lunch.

My mom said it isnt a good idea to tell them that I just had my internet setup yesterday because then they are going to be wondering how I was able to telework last time (back in fe. bruary twice when we had bad snowy weather). Would it be a bad idea to say to my manager in an email: "since all of the new employees are going to be doing a trial test run for teleworking tomorrow, would it be okay if I also did one after lunch tomorrow to make sure my updated/new internet services are working properly so that I will not have any issues teleworking next Tuesday when the building is closed?" In addition, there is supposed to be gusty winds & hail tomorrow too.

I don't think its fair for everyone else (mainly all of the other new people and managers) to be able to telework while I have to come into the office. Like wth??

Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻
