'Management has Zoom background of their office to pretend they're at the office': Employee calls out hypocritical bosses after enforcing return to office

It's like when you're in school and you're expected to complete the math test without a calculator. Then, later that day, you see your math teacher grading the same test with a calculator right by her side. If authority figures are unable to lead by example and to live up to the same set of expectations they enforce onto others, then they shouldn't be authority figures at all. Of course, as it relates to adulthood, this phenomenon manifests itself most obviously in the workplace.
