[quote=Anonymous]PP, I think you’re reading a lot into what OP said which seems fairly clear to me.

There was an issue with parking and OP suggested a different telework day as a temporary solution.  This is not crazy to ask and supervisor should have discussed it with OP immediately instead of waiting weeks. If OP started showing up on a different day for several weeks and her supervisor said nothing, that’s on the supervisor.

We also don’t know if OP has a reason they need to be able to park or not.  Some government buildings are not accessible by public transport.  Some people have to drive because they can’t walk, or they have to pick kids up after work, or whatever. We have no idea.  That’s why a manager should talk to their new employees when issues come up like this.

The 8 hours a day thing—again we have no idea what is going on there, OP is guessing since her supervisor didn’t say. If a supervisor or anyone else noticed OP was missing, it’s quite easy to send an email and ask them where they are.  Didn’t happen.

Her boss recruited and hired her, she should want to see her succeed, not fail.  Doesn’t sound like boss is very committed to that if they can’t be bothered to talk to their employee about issues like this right away.

But you know, OP must be a bad employee.[/quote]
