A simple Microsoft 365 Roadmap update will now generate a raft of unhappy headlines. The idea is simple. “When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.”
Forget the locational anonymity of a Teams virtual background. Teams will update your location when connected to your company’s WiFi. On video, you may have your usual background complete with company logo. But your boss will know you’re not in work.
The problem is they’ll know when your not in a company building. So people can’t WFH even though their boss isn’t watching them at the office anyway.
If you’re outright refusing company rules like that then yeah you sorta run the risk of justifiable sacked lol
It’s not refusing so much as taking advantage of a grey area. The work is still getting done.
It’s not very grey if they’ve been told to get into the office and they aren’t doing that
That sounds like an issue with the the arrangement between the employee and employer to me.
Yeah, but not everyone has the flexibility to just hop to a different job the second their current one becomes unsatisfactory. Some people have to make do with what they’ve got.
It sounds like you are defending taking an in person job with the intent to deceive your employer by working at home. Because I still fail to see a circumstance where it would be a problem unless the employee is trying to be deceitful to work from someplace unauthorized.
