Boss changed a daily zoom meeting to in person. Now everyone’s commute is worse.

So after HR got in a fit because people weren't going into the office as much as they were supposed to.

In sum. My boss rescheduled a useless remote meeting to be in person for a job that can be done entirely remotely. And now my already bad commute got 10 minutes longer. And when asked if I could change it just 30 minutes later, I get yelled at. Perfect.
