    Ok, I need to tell someone else. The other day I ran into an acquaintance, John. He was telling me about his new manager job. Currently, everyone is working remote. An email was sent out to John’s team inviting them to lunch so that the team could meet John in person.

    Apparently, only 1 person showed up. John got butthurt. John told his boss that he thinks his team doesn’t “engage enough” at work and that he thinks remote work is to blame. John told me he likes to test people randomly by sending them a Slack message and seeing how long it takes to respond. Apparently, he thinks 5 minutes for a response means people aren’t at the computer working. John has convinced his boss to force people back in the office…
