My manager is imposing 2x a week in the office only for me, while the official company policy says 1x a week, how should I handle this?
Hello everyone.
I'm getting more and more frustrated with my job.
I got hired 8 months ago in a financially struggling company as a Senior engineer.
When I got hired, the official policy was 1x a week in the office and I was fine with it. The team usually come on Wednesday.
My manager whose is super anxious and micro manage me non stop for some reason is now imposing me 2x a week, only for me while the rest of the team is still at 1x a week. His reasoning is that since I'm the only senior in our team, I have to come in the office more often to inspire my coworkers. I find that bullshit and I'm not sure how to proceed.
For some people, it can be easy to go to the office. But for me, it means 1 hour in traffic just to go work in a empty office with my boss. And the worse thing is that the office is completely empty all day of the week except for Wednesday.
And in parallel, he keep saying in our 1:1 that we would like to see me grow in the company (the company is struggling bad anyways).
How would you handle this ?
