>>WFH.
My contract insists I work from home. Multinational company is too tight to pay for office space!
They also refuse to pay for a telephone / broadband and provide the cheapest crappiest printers you can imagine.
It wasn't always like this, which is why I changed from my previous employer. They were sending emails at 03:00 in the morning and insisting on immediate replies - if you didn't you got balled out in the next departmental meeting or wouldn't get a seat in the meeting. You'd be invited - but no seat! Again a major UK PLC.
When you work at home your line manager can't see how busy you are and therefore they just piles the work on. You can tell them but they don't listen because they can't see it. The manager that used to do the job knows that but they move on and the new managers that come in don't have the technical skills to do the job, they don't appreciate or understand what you do, each file to them is the same. Some can take 1 hour, some 48 hours. Unfortunately they tend to allocate everyone the same number of files and juniors get 5 easy ones a day and seniors get 5 difficult ones a day and no one cares that you work until 4AM to sort them.
Time to move on again.
