I'm in a position at a bank that I've been hybrid in since I started, since it's a job that can be worked remote in general. I'm on my fifth year doing so. My first manager was so flexible that it was up to me if I wanted to be full time remote but I'd rather go in some days if I can. I used to have a lot of flexibility on days I couldn't come into the office for whatever reason, but lately two managers have told me to use non notice pto instead of working from home on the days I would've usually been in office. Is that allowed? If I'm not able to go in to the office, for example if my child has caught a cold, so of course I'm not sending them to school, but I'm completely capable of working from home while I'm home with them, why should I have to use pto if I can work at home? Or if I need to drop off my car for an oil change in the morning, but can work from home since they'll give me a ride home while they're working on my car, why do I need to use pto? They aren't talking to me about anything as far as if things have changed with remote/hybrid work or why they're being stricter, which hello communication would be nice? They're just starting to suddenly have issues with me needing to work from home more than usual, but without telling me why or anything. I also have never had performance issues, I always exceed expectations overall on my performance evaluations every year. Also side note, there are two other coworkers in my same position but they're in office full time since they've started (which was after me, so I've been in the position the longest) because that's what they chose to do initially. I'm sure they would've been hybrid as well if they wanted but they simply don't want to. They work from home sparingly as needed too, not sure if that matters.
