Rut cycles of alphas typically last for just two days. It was brief, totally unlike omegas' monthly heat that could last for at most a week.
This is one of the reasons why alphas are much more preferred in the workplace.
More time for work, less hassle. Compared to omegas who can be easily influenced to go into heat by alpha's pheromones, alphas who are only susceptible to quarterly ruts pose fewer problems.
Times might have changed, and the superiority among the secondary sexes has long been proven to be a myth. However, inconveniences like the ones mentioned above remain a reality; omegas in society still inevitably get the short end of the stick.
Some people, particularly those with good opinions about themselves and are sick of seeing others happy, wouldn't think twice about making omegas feel bad for their "inconvenience."
