      My last job was super flexible. I could work 1-5 days from home if I wanted to. It was great as the office was 90 min drive from my place.

      So we get a new leader, who is super enthusiastic and introduces himself as best buddy/superboss. Fast forward 6 months and 4 office days are mandatory and 1 home office is allowed if you schedule it a week in advance.

      Reason? He thinks we perform better, but the real reason was he wanted to keep an eye on us. Fast forward two more months and I was the third person handing in the resignation.

      Boss man is still convinced it’s the lack of support from the head office which drives the people away.and it has nothing to do with mandatory office days.

        Self reflection is often poor. I am not allowed working from home. Even when proving that I am more effective if everyone leaves me alone and just work. Too many distractions in the office.
