"if they can't see you working then you must not be working"

A friend of mine has recently had to go back to The Office for five days a week. She said her productivity has gone down, because management hold pointless hour long meetings and demand endless status updates. Apparently saying "piss off and let me do my job" is not an option.

The problem seems to be that the pandemic has shown that motivated employees are more than capable of managing themselves, which puts the fear of God into middle management. So they're very willing to drag everybody back into The Office in order to justify their own existence.
