This would feel less gas lighty if they were just open about micromanaging, their 10yr commercial lease, keeping up appearances for older clients or whatever. Instead they say the most laughable shit

It is nice having lunch with teammates. It’s nicer having lunch at home in my sweats.
I much prefer having lunch in my PJs with my cats to having lunch with my coworkers.
