Partner wants me in office to “collaborate.” Partner is too busy to discuss any questions I have on anything when I’m in office.

So many false justifications for wanting people back in the office. I would prefer if partners just admitted that the real reason they want you in the office is because that’s the environment they’re accustomed to and they want that to continue. All this talk about “collaboration” is usually bs.

Maybe bring it up directly with the partners then instead of complaining about it on an app? 🫠

My favorite is when the partner asks you to come in to “collaborate,” but s/he decides to continue working from home, lol.

They enjoy this as a power move.

Typical. Partners never had time to talk to us before. I'm not sure why they think anything has changed. It's much easier to just schedule a call.

I have a coworker who is in the same position/level as I am on the same team and sometimes we split up work on certain projects, but then they act really really competitive. I don't feel the need to fight over things or go head-to-head and I just want to avoid it. I feel like if I bring it up then it will start something worse. What do I do?
