'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

Enforcing new work policies on employees out of nowhere and without notice is bound to lead to some pushback. Contrary to the beliefs of bosses of a certain generation, not every fully remote or hybrid employee enjoys their situation because of laziness. Sometimes, it's about commuting. Sometimes, it's about the nature of their work and daily responsibilities. Other times, it's a medical issue, which is consistent with this Redditor's experience.

After working remotely at a small company of under 50 employees, he became the only fully remote employee because of a medical condition that made it nearly impossible to commute to the office. This was never a problem, and their work never suffered as a result of this arrangement. However, with no warning, the employee received an email that they must report to work in person starting next week. To make matters even worse, their employer has avoided any contact or communication about the directive.
