That meeting reminds me of a time my last job brought us together online for a team-building exercise to talk about WHAT LAWS WE WOULD BREAK IF WE COULD GET AWAY WITH IT.

I let everybody else go first. When it got to me, I guilted all of them for coming together to talk about committing crimes on company time. They doubled down on me seeking an answer, and I eventually said I wished smoothies cost two dollars less.

They laughed but I think they got more mad and disappointed at me. They should have been mad and disappointed at us having a meeting based on that.

All that's to say some companies have been embarrassing in their failure to change with the times post-pandemic. That job had a poor understanding of work culture post-pandemic, and they lost 12% of their employees in three months just from going from 100% to 90% WFH...and that 12% were right to leave because they couldn't justify the purpose of an office anymore. If it doesn't have to be done in person, don't make people change to do it in person.

Anyway I work 100% WFH again elsewhere now.
