New Manager Fires On Site Employee And Asks Remote Worker To Go To Site, Treats Them Poorly When They Refused
Every company’s most precious asset is its oldest and most experienced employees; thus, it cannot afford to demoralize them. However, it gets very difficult for them to work at the same pace whenever a new supervisor is hired since the new one constantly tries to innovate everything.
OP had been working remotely in a small clinic for two years, and the number of employees in OP’s department had been cut from seven to three as a result of previous stressful adjustments. They had been working without a manager for the past five months, and two employees in the office were left unattended. When the new manager was appointed, he fired one of them because he was not working effectively, but the workforce has since been reduced, affecting the completion of the job on time. Because remote job needs differed from office work, OP’s employment remained the same, with only a slight increase in burden. The problem started when the new manager wanted OP to come into the office twice a week to complete in-person tasks for him. OP declined him because he was employed as a remote worker, which irritated the manager, who berated OP in front of the owner. Read the complete story and provide your thoughts on the OP’s dilemma in the comments section below.

1. The new manager started treating OP badly since OP refused to obey their order to come into the office.
2. OP worked in a small clinic for two years, with far fewer employees than necessary and without a management for five months.
3. Following the appointment of a new manager, another onsite employee was sacked, and the remaining employee was forced to work in their place despite having no experience in that particular line of work.
4. OP’s workload was also increased, but as a virtual job, the work varied from that of those who worked in the office.
5. Due to the workload, OP previously advised management to hire at least two additional employees; but, by firing one more, they were downsized from three to just two.
6. The new manager asked OP to come to the office twice a week to handle in-person work, which OP refused because he had been hired as a remote worker and had no plans to change that.
7. The manager became dismissive of OP in the next online meeting and tried to convince the owner about OP’s incompetence.
8. OP was the only person who remained in the company despite all the hurdles but felt dejected by the new manager’s attitude.

14. Redditor had to deal with a challenging manager while doing an excellent job for the company, who was eventually fired after OP resigned.
15. Indeed! The salary should be increased if they want to change OP’s job status.
16. Redditor disagrees with the comment about accepting the onsite job with a higher salary.
17. Redditor warns that they will make OP’s life miserable after the refusal.
18. According to Redditor, the owner shouldn’t bring more chaos in the company by making problems for left-behind workers.
19. Yes, the new manager tried to change the work routines of the workers without understanding how things worked in the company.

Since the hiring was only for a remote position and the employee was performing all duties correctly with the additional workload, the employee was correct to refuse the new manager’s request to come into the office for in-person work. Since OP was the only employee who stuck by the business through all of the difficulties, the owner would not side with the management against OP. In the case that the manager attempts to ruin OP’s life, OP ought to speak with the owner directly. How do you feel about the circumstances of the OP?
