      This is correct.

      They can’t adapt or change. They don’t know how as they are too comfy and stuck in their ways…

      But then they force us to read “who moved my cheese”…

        It also likely reveals that for many of these managers, their role as micromanagers is completely unnecessary. So they have an identity crisis, unable to justify their position.

        My department has transitioned to WFH and it’s been wonderful. Every single employee much prefers it and my boss notes that productivity has increased while “issues” have subsided. That’s what you want to see.

        Now that I’m doing WFH, I will forever seek a job that enables me to do this at least 75% of the time.
