How dare CEOs take vacations

Looking at US vacation times allowed for workers, you can't go away for the summer without working remotely.

Jeez, all those tourists I'm seeing are just remote working?

This whole time I thought my value was in the service and expertise I offer. Little did I know it was really my physical proximity to people I don’t even regularly interact with.

I've had days where I come to the office, go on a bunch of zoom meetings, and leave. At that point why force in-person attendance??

I have had those. Worse is that everyone has different work from home days and on Thursdays I'm the only person on my team in the office - so I get up early, make the commute into the office, talk to no one face to face, attend meetings remotely (but have to book a meeting room for privacy), then commute back home. It's a giant waste of time.

This was quite well know though. It’s called “face time”.
