I have a friend who could do her job 100% remotely, but the company won’t let them and just allows one or two days a week max.
And, I’m not kidding, some higher up said that they need employees at the office so that the parking lot looks nice and full for visiting clients. You can’t make this shit up.

Tom in accounting:

He’s the chair of the gym club, why would you doubt his regimen?
Don’t ask, just go into the bread stool.
Maybe soon we could all get self-driving cars and have it drive itself to the office so the parking lot looks pretty
So dumb.
