This was a pet peave for me as a union rep during the pandemic. Our workplace introduced a WFH on a “voluntary” basis scheme over night with no commitments from the employer. Meanwhile the employer cancelled leases for office spaces. In effect, the employer saved a bunch of money on the backs (homes turned into free workspaces) of the employees while giving nothing in return. People working from home got no promise they’d get to keep doing it, people who had to come in to the office had to deal with a lack of space.
Not a single union colleague wanted to talk about this, never mind raise it with the employer. Reaping: sowing.

Weird they wouldn’t talk about it. I would have. If I ever have to work in an office again I would quit.
I gain far too much to ever let that go.

A lot of people considered the vagueness — eg not having a WFH manual – of the setup a gift and didn’t want to stare a gift horse in the mouth. Irresponsible, IMO, but not my problem any more.
