    When I accepted my current job, I did so on the conditions that I'd work 4x10 and fully from home (after training). When I started, they said there had been a misunderstanding about full WFH and that I was allowed to WFH one day a week. (That eventually changed during COVID but no one ever apologized to me for lying to me.)

    Seven years later - last year - they told me that it was "unfair" that I'm the only person who had a special schedule (apparently I was the last person to have it, but I certainly was not the only) and took that away, too.

    I live in a rural area and will not be able to find a comparable job nearby. I've been contemplating what to do.

    Wanna share the plan? I'm still trying to come up with something for my boss.

    Beware the word moot has opposite meanings to people from the US and UK.

    US takes it as something that can be ignored like it's from practice in a moot court (or mock trial)

    UK takes it from the meeting type (a moot) and the word means something that should be discussed

    Australia mostly follows US usage in this

    I would have prepared my two weeks notice letter in advance and handed it to him right after he said those words.
