Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Discrimination - Hybrid vs Office

How can this position be labeled hybrid if we’re required to be in the office five days a week? Isn’t that misleading and discriminatory? I’m really frustrated that this exists in our company.

"This position is hybrid, and you may be expected to go into Bratislava office 2+ days per week."

@2h0 @OP
Discrimination by itsn't inherently illegal. However, unlawful discrimination is, and it applies when decisions are made based on protected attributes rather than ligitimate business justification, leading to disproportionate impacts against protected groups. A legitimate reason could be offering hybrid work as an incentive to draw in candidates, especially where there's a shallow talent pool.
Now, if all the employees granted hybrid status were of the same race or gender, while all others were subject to different standards, you could potentially make the case for unlawful discrimination.
But this can apply to any form of compensation. Is it unlawful discrimination if a new hire is offered a higher starting salary when compared to experienced corrent employees with the same title?
So, I'll concede that I was wrong in the OP's case and the argument could be made for labeling this discrimination. But the key here is it doesn't become unlawful discrimination b/c one person, a new hire, receives something you don't.
Lastly, I don't see anything misleading in the job posting. You could call it unfair, but not misleading.

@2da same company, same position - but one could stay hybrid, the other can't. No explanation, just because...

@OP Is it that you don't understand the definition of hybrid, or is it that you don't understand that 5 really is included in 2+? Either way, you seem to be too st*pid to be complaining. Be happy with what you have, or quit.

All positions outside of US are hybrid, they need the competition there. In the US, they need to get rid of you. Dont be silly. Only reason we are RTO is because it creates an environment where you are forced to quit. They need talents overseas, not in the US.

Same thing for contractors who never have to show up. What about the collaboration? This place is a joke.

RTO is only for 40+ year old Americans. Remember the policy does not have to be discriminatory to be unlawful. If the outcome is discriminatory that is all the courts care about.
