Boss Cuts a Remote Employee's Hours (and Pay) in Half, Attempting to Force Him to Come to the Office Instead of Working From Home

Remote workers love working from home, and some managers simply can't wrap their brains around that. Nowadays, with so many jobs going remote, some managers are panicked that they'll never get the chance to flaunt their $400 ties in front of their lowly employees, over-squeezing their hands with every handshake and blurting uselessly affirmative business mantras to 'boost morale.' Okay, Boomer, but we don't need to waste 2 hours in the car to commute to the office just to listen to your idle gibber-jabber. In fact, most of us work better without the distractions of the office.

They don't understand that when you're working from home, not only are you insanely productive and dressed comfortably, but you can also do your laundry and marinate your dinner meats while attending a Zoom call and creating thorough reports. The previous working generation is so blindly obsessed with company culture being tied to a location that they don't realize that not everyone is a socialite, a gossiper who thrives on a firm handshake and a pat on the back. In this case, an employee who was hired specifically to work remotely just lost his perfect working environment (aka his home) because his Boomer boss suddenly had a change of heart about his feelings about working from home.

Despite the numbers reflecting OP's incredible work ethic, apparently, his boss just had to see him physically sitting in an office chair in order to believe that he was actually on task. Scroll for the full, frustrating tale of how one employee got completely shafted when his boss decided he wanted to see his face in real life. For a chuckle afterward, check out these witty work memes that you'll only understand if you're overworked and underpaid.
