@coloradogirl, thanks for your insight. I have worked at both large corporations and small companies and without a doubt unfairness and favoritism are alive and well in both/all business environments. I would have to say it's generally seems worse in a smaller company because it's so much harder to hide.
After careful consideration of your comments i'm nearly certain that my immediate issue is the toxic director I work for. Our owners like him but he is anything but professional and doesn't know how to treat employees with respect. Uses the boss card a lot and is probably the biggest time theft person in the company. He even runs a separate personal business on company time. But, they are not willing to check him at any turn.
I did get some good news late yesterday that due to the virus, they had to let most of our professionals work from home, at least for this week which further proves my point about it was always an arbitrary decision on my directors part to disallow my request for more home work until the flood gates opened. It was great today to be home with my wife as she has been having much pain as I described earlier. I'm being as compliant as I can to prolong this situation although I wish it didn't happen as the result of a serious pandemic negatively affecting so many people.
