"Hard truth I learned as a CEO: Sometimes you have to lie to get what you want, regardless of reality and facts"
Anyone who thinks more work gets done in the office is an idiot, or lying.
Eh, it depends. I find that there is a benefit in highly collaborative projects or in an environment where training is a component.
For instance, a lot of data showed that junior staff productivity tanked as they didn't have the mentoring opportunities that they would have had in a full remote environment.
right now I am hiding in a call booth in my office on our one in person day a week because the rest of the office is singing along to achy breaky heart while two junior employees throw lifesaver mints at each other.
Where the fuck is the boss?
one CXO is playing the music, the COO hides in the corner by the swag storage, the CEO has a private office not connected to the main bullpen, the two VPs don't care or are joining in
At that point, it sounds like the group's culture that you're in isn't a good fit for you, and I can understand your frustration that you have to go into work to suffer this.
eh it's one day a week and I'm respected and appreciated in other contexts it's just the one day because the boss is convinced it enables the team.
