My manager – who works at a different office 3,000 miles away – continues to insist that I return to work at the (local to me) office. Claims he doesn't have “visibility” into how I spend my time.
Which is about the fourth or fifth different reason he has given for ending WFH for our team. I think he's finally tipped his hand, though. It's not about collaboration, or the hallway interaction, or even setting an example – if we're working from home, and not on the company network, the spyware on our laptops can't phone home.
Which makes sense, since the other latest directive is to reiterate that we're strictly forbidden to use any personal devices for work functions.
