At work when management said due to iranian drone strikes and sirens we are supposed to go to bomb shelter rather than straight home, in the beginning of this conflict they said we are allowed to work from home later they said work from home is no longer allowed , when i said to my dad it’s unfair that we are not allowed to go home, he said
they aren’t paying you for free, others are also in similar condition what’s the big deal?
is that right or wrong? Or am i just over reacting
You haven’t said what country or line of work you’re in, so nobody knows what’s normal. Countries in the middle east are not known for their strong commitments to worker rights, so it’s a good guess that having to do whatever management wants or get fired is normal there.
During an air raid, it’s probably safer to travel a short distance to a bomb shelter rather than a longer distance to your home, if that accurately describes the options.
UAE, i work as a document controler
A quick look suggests the UAE has stronger worker protections than are typical for the region. The government strongly encouraged employers to allow work from home last week, but I didn’t find whether that has been continued into this week. It doesn’t look like that recommendation is mandatory for employers.
Someone who reads Arabic will probably be able to find more recent statements from the government with relative ease.
