That said, had the second jab last week and have a matter that's going to grow into more work than has been the case, so will probably start going back next week, but going to be even less tethered to face time than I ever was (he says as someone who mostly kinda sorta works for himself).

"Coming back to the office facilitates comradery, the constant exchange of ideas and better communication."
This is what happens when the office is run by boomers who don't do the work.
Plaintiffs' firms don't have productivity standards. And for plaintiffs' firms with nontraditional structures, the only standard is whether you are there when the boss is.
It's stupid, especially when precorona you were out doing deps or in court, and couldn't be in the office.
Here's the question: if you go into the office and work, but no one sees you, did you really work?
