- Philadelphia mask mandate again 😄 But I guess people in CA already 100% immune to covid. ;)
- What is the most boomer thing you’ve heard? RTO communication is rolling out, and I chuckle at how much antiquated ideology is thrown about as justification. “You can’t build good management skills virtually.” “We need to collaborate in person.” “In-person culture is so important.” “Management is best practiced in person.” So, what’s the

- Entitled people want to return to the office because wfh is merit based. It seems like those who used to schmooze their way to the top, play office politics on a professional level, or get by on their looks are the main ones begging everyone to return to the office.
