    It’s odd too. A lot of places have offices in various cities too. So you can live in one city, and your team works in a different city or state. So their micromanaging isn’t possible since you’ll be at a completely different office. It just doesn’t make sense. So we enter the “quiet layoff” stages.

    Next headline will read, “Have companies started their own version of quiet quitting by forcing employees back to the office in an effort to get them to quit or he fired.”

      Yeah my company’s office is 20 miles from where I live. I rarely go into the office, usually just for company events. Because the entire team I manage is based in India… so I would just be going into the office to have virtual meetings there instead of where I live. Thankfully they are on a fully remote policy, if they decided to change that I’d probably seek another job

        I do exactly this 3 days a week…

        I would probably voluntarily go in 1-2 days a week because it’s nice to get out sometimes. However, a mandatory 3 days feels dumb.
