    So they have to move to an office, any office?

    Meaning they can no longer be remote but don’t have to be in the same office as the people they manage?

    That makes a lot of sense.

      This is similar to what most tech companies have aligned on. I work 200 miles from my co-workers, my manager is 100 miles away, and while I’m supposed to be 100 miles away our tracking software doesn’t care if I badge in 2 miles away at my local office.

      If you’re a multinational company, you’ll be on video calls regardless of what you do, so it’s fucking stupid that they enforce these rules.
