This out-of-office working situation is really hard on those people who identify themselves by what they do. If you refuse to pay them fealty by appearing, they question their importance.
Face time isn't about you, you selfish prick. It's about gratifying management with the delusion that you'd still come into the office and respect them if you won the lottery tomorrow... Allowing them to believe you'd spend even a second in their company if not for the commercial endeavor in which you are both engaged.
Occasionally, there's a story about some worker winning or inheriting a ton of money and telling her boss to fuck off while resigning. This is misguided. One should simply leave. Never resign. Never take a call from the office. Just leave. This sends the proper message on how much one cares about management, the endeavor, the company, the system. Just walk away.

The emails are continuing. I legitimately got an email that says this:
"While we value remote work, this pandemic established that in-office work will always be necessary . . . ."
However, in New York, everybody is telecommuting. The metro north parking lots are empty. The trains are empty. I see no reason anyone should risk their health working in a place that has not established safe protocols just to stroke somebody's ego.
But I am going to take the approach that I think underlies your post.
I
could retire today. It would be a far less comfortable retirement than if I retired in 5-10 years. But I am not going to risk my health to stroke somebody's needle dick. Everybody faces risks, but even Walmart provides a safer work environment.
I am just not going to respond, continue to work from home and if the direct deposit stops . . . it's been a nice run. But no discussion, no responding.
