Can’t work remotely because I don’t have kids or responsibilities, apparently

I’m 25M. Only graduated from university last year

During university, I got a placement at this IT company, worked there 18 months. Full time in the office and everyone else 3 days per week working from home.

That’s cool I’m the student. I accept that

Shortly after graduation, last summer, my boss offered me my job back. Started again finally in October 2024

My boss promised me 2 days WFH. Then a while later said 1 day a week starting in February 2025

He said nothing after that. Nothing about it.

So I was waiting until my 6 month probation was up in April

He didn’t have the probation in April

It’s not until June where I spoke up and asked him, ‘whats the status with my WFH’? Am I meant to WFH soon?

Then he had the probation meeting (?)

This is where he told me that I will get WFH ‘eventually’ and he knows it ‘not fair’ but he said:

“You know, you don’t have any responsibilities, any kids, you live on your own (yes because I moved to this city for the job) and being in the office is ‘good for you ‘

You’re a ‘good presence for us in the office’

He said this very nervously, my boss cannot communicate well at all

I was insulted by this, but smiled throughout it for the sake of the paycheck

I don’t mind the job and my role, but I am left a bit bitter by this whole thing

I moved up here and hour away from my hometown, earn the base £25K salary, pay rent, travelling to work and lunches etc and I get this

I found some non-IT admin jobs I have already applied for which can be a stop gap for a while.

It’s funny my boss has been super nice after this whole altercation. I don’t believe it

What would you do?
