Boss forces fully remote company to return to the office 5 days a week, while he works from home on Fridays without letting the rest of his team do the same: ‘Leadership roles have different requirements.’
He should hold himself to the same standards he holds everyone else to. It can be really hard to convince employees that they «need» to go into the office when they’ve spent years working from home.

She doesn’t have to be cheerful every day, but she should be able to do her work. It can be really difficult to wake up every day and go to work when you’re going through something extremely emotionally distressing. When I was going through a breakup of sorts, work was one of the only things …
