"[…] ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities" 👉🏻 https://archive.ph/QpMio
Fascinating new research acting as a friendly reminder: Whenever your manager asks you to return to the office, because of, you know, productivity, culture, innovation, etc. you may actually be dealing with a sociopath / psychopath 😤🤯🤬

A couple of noteworthy quotes:
"They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshipped at the office altar"
"[…] self-centered leaders tend to struggle with the idea of employees making independent choices about where to work"
Like I said, incredibly useful reminder showcasing some early signs to watch out for when working with sociopaths / psychopaths

Although perhaps my favourite:
"When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down"
Choose wisely (with your feet) who you're working for👌🏻😎
