I got in trouble at work for being "unavailable" for 3 days while my coworkers were working on something important without me because I never responded to the one word message "Hey".
I was 100% WFH, for a company in California, long before Covid.
We rented an oceanfront condo for a week from a friend, it was a good deal (they were unbooked so they figured a discount for a known user is better the no booking)
I went down there and worked from the condo from 8-6. Solid internet, attended all meetings. My boss got a case of the ass that I was "taking a vacation" and started trying to hop into support calls before I could so he could write me up for taking a vacation without requesting it.
I literally hit every support message within 30 seconds, he spent his whole day trying to do my job for me. By the end of the day, he had the gall to say I wasn't answering messages quickly enough. I demanded he show me what message he was talking about. Over a whole day of work, there was one message that went unanswered for 45 seconds because I was already working with two separate people. I sent him my chat logs of me working with the other people, and he bitched that I didn't tell them to wait for 45 seconds.
When I quit, he said, "I have to say I didn't see it coming, you were always so dedicated, I'm really sorry to see you go, no chance that I could change your mind? Is it salary?" "nope, I was summoned from some people I used to work for, and they're ready for me"
I hate how dysfunctional so many people are on communication and remote work.
