Employee demands to be fired after company shifts from fully remote work to 3 days from the new office, boss agrees: 'I will not work a single day from this box'

Switching from working fully from an office to partially remote is the dream. Doing it the other way around… Not so much. 

Many companies these days are changing up their work policies and demanding employees come into the office more often, and the company in the story below is no different. They even got a new office so that employees can go in and physically work from one location together. 

Safe to say… Everyone hates it.

If I had to give up my fully work-from-home routine in favor of driving three days a week to a tiny, stuffy, and boxy office, I would have hated it too. How is working from a cubicle better for employees than the comfort of their own home? Who in their right mind forces that kind of change on their perfectly happy employees?

I'll tell you who–the upper management in the story below. Too bad they didn't see the backlash coming, because maybe then they would have thought twice about renting an office space nobody wants to go to. One of their employees even prefers to be fired rather than to work from that office three days a week.
