When the pandemic started, some companies were forced to transition work from their establishments and offices into a work-from-home setup. This is done in order for businesses, government, and private offices and services to continue operating and at the same time, ensure the safety of both employer and employees since the cases kept going up.

After some time, people had appreciated this change and realized that working from home in the midst of a pandemic is better than risking themselves and their whole family by going outside every day to work. With its promising advantages like spending more time with family, saving money from commuting or traveling to work, being able to do household chores, taking care of pets, working out, and doing other tasks at home, many people are looking for jobs that offer work-from-home opportunities.

However, a lot of employers are also taking advantage of this trend since they are aware that job seekers prefer to work from the comfort of their homes. They mention in the job description that they are hiring someone to do the job remotely and would just come to the office if necessary.

Yet, when the applicant goes through the interview process or worse, already hired, their job description changes without their knowledge and their bosses are requiring them to work in the office. The reason for mentioning the work-from-home set up in the job ad was only to lure applicants in which isn't a fair thing to do so.

The same thing happened to a Redditor named meghanerd who happily accepted a job expecting to work remotely except when neccessary, only to found out that her boss is requiring her to do the opposite. Scroll down to see how she responded and gracefully made her exit to the company.

Nowadays, health is wealth and people are aware of their options and what works best for them. It is important that both the employer and the employee are being honest with what each of them can offer, and come up with a deal that they can agree on.
