I was cat sitting for my neighbor and during a Zoom call he jumped on my back and started scratching me. I pushed him off, but he kept coming at me. I ended up returning him the same day. That cat was wild!

I understand your perspective, but I’d expect any manager to know how to measure progress and reward their team accordingly. Our daily and weekly meetings already ensure transparency and everyone knows what everyone else is working on. It’s frustrating to need so much effort spent on self-promotion when that time could be better used for meaningful work.

Spot on. The “culture” excuse just hides who really benefits from RTO.

Same here, I’ve been working from home since 2019 and honestly, I’d never go back to an office even if they paid me double. My “office” is literally right next to my bed, so the moment I wake up, I’m already checking emails. 😂
