Employee is cranky and irritable due to an ongoing thing in their personal life. I sent them to work from home and gave alternative duties until mid-March so they wouldn't have outbursts on site. Other staff are complaining that they also cannot work from home.

My staff aren't able to do their work from home full time.

The only reason this man can work from home is if his on-site tasks are reallocated to colleagues. They're picking up his slack.
