Our hiring manager just flat out sucks at his job, rarely ever see him interviewing people and I know of several coworkers who have dropped their friends resumes on his desk and he never follows up with these recommendations. One of his main jobs is to keep in contact with our student co-ops and let them know their start dates after each semester, he doesn’t reach out to them and actually dodges their calls. Now here is the real shocker, he is untouchable because he is the former owners son.
So, I noticed the past few months he’s been interviewing a lot more than the past few years, pretty obvious because he gives a building tour after each interview. I was talking to my secretary about it and she told me he got a real ass chewing because current ownership found out, after the fact, that his request to work from home ALL OF DECEMBER was actually a request to work from my vacation house in Florida, dudes barely older than I am and he just lives life on easy mode.
I’d say it depends on the circumstances and in these circumstances, it should matter. Working from home when you’re needed in-person because you have a sick family member is one thing, but doing it because you want to party on Daytona Beach is another.

Edit: Hope you see this, Fuck you Kyle!

Genuine question, did it really matter whether he was in his normal house or holiday home? Unless it was a timezone issue or something?

Were they doing the work they were meant to do during work hours?
Working remotely shouldn’t be treated as a privilege.
I’d assume not since the majority of their comment is talking about how this person was dodging calls and not interviewing anyone.
Fucking Kyles
