For over two years I have heard of so many people working from home. During the height of the pandemic my work didn't skip a beat. I work for a government office and much of our work could have been done from home, but my boss at the time laughed that notion off. My former boss who was an elected official lost her re-election and thus gave me a new boss. He is actually a fairly decent guy, who really stresses family first and after 8 months that has held true. The state of my work improved and things got a little better overall.

All of this because I called him out on unethical medical practices. I was even nice about it and just expressed my concerns but he's been short with me ever since and now this.
