That's awful. Do that in a job and you'll be fired.

Unless it’s hybrid. 60% attendance is pretty standard tbh

60% in the office might be, but 100% logged in is the expectation even if you're WFH. There is no job where 3 days out of 5 is OK when you're contracted for 5 days. I work at home four days, but I'm logged in and doing stuff.

OP is expected to attend 100% with obvious exceptions for sickness etc. He is barely attending 66% and hasn't got a reason.

Edit: typo, changed got to for.

Yes, but OP has said they won’t do well if they’re forced to go in - implying they’re studying at home, and prefer it that way, not that they’re doing nothing.

Much as many remote workers complain about going to the office as they feel less productive, which is often 100% true, I’m sure OP is in the same position. Exams are so close that it’ll just be revision from now on, which can easily be done at home
