Am I being unreasonable?

[Alexi92]

Hi

Been WFH 6 hours from my workplace. No problems with this. My manager has called 1 hour meeting for staff in 2 weeks time. My car will be in garage so will have to get the train costing £100+ and will need to use London Underground and wear face mask etc.

Am I being unreasonable about not wanting to attend?

**Edit I normally live in that city but I have been living with family for the past 18 months.

Perhaps you could rent a car for the day?

Why do you live so far from your workplace?

Just trying to understand

You need to refer to your contract of employment to see where it says about location

It’s not unreasonable to not want to go, but it’s also not unreasonable for your boss to want to see his staff in person once in a while. 2 weeks is enough notice IMO, it’s just bad luck you won’t have your car.

Ok, you so moved away.

You will have to go to the office as requested then

If you normally live in that city and attend that office then no, it’s not unreasonable. 2 weeks is also ample time to make arrangements. You could ask if it’s really necessary for you to attend and can they let you video in instead.
