‘Is this a joke?’: Micromanager demands to be notified whenever work-from-home employees step away from their desks

Every day, after getting ready and making the short journey, we head to the dark, gloomy, and sad office where we are supposed to spend almost eight hours doing some of our best work.

The quality of your work is determined by the individual overseeing you, not by your title. It is up to them whether you will enjoy or resent your time spent working for the company. The boss is the one who rides to tremendous heights, sets rules, and keeps things under control. That being said, if, like us, you toil away in the corporate world every day, have some free time in between afternoon meetings, and are looking for some lighthearted entertainment, then make sure to read the story below about the manager who insists on being notified every time a worker gets up from their chair. In addition, after reading the entire story and having a few minutes left to spare, don't forget to read about the man who, despite decades of no communication, expects rent-free housing in his brother's new house!
