AskABoss: “I was so excited to go back to the office before, but my boss has made me feel really bad about it. I have made my decision, and I’m not sure what benefit these comments are adding.” askamanager advises
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images My boss, Jane, is a very vocal remote-work advocate. She is constantly sharing articles on social media about how work from home is the future and writing long rants criticizing companies that are bringing people back to the office for needing to “get with the times.”
Since then, every time the office has come up in conversation, she has made comments about how undesirable it is. When I mentioned that I was getting ready to move in a recent one-on-one, she laughed and was like, “Well, good luck.
But I don’t think Jane is just trying to manage your expectations about what going back will be like. It sounds like she’s gone well beyond that and instead is pushing a specific agenda in an obnoxious way. Sometimes when someone is repeatedly harping on a topic, just naming it and asking about why can shut it down. So the next time Jane makes one of these remarks about how the office is going to be a barren wasteland and it’s odd that you’re going back, one option is to say, “You’ve made so many comments about how empty you think the office will be and my decision to go back that I’ve started to wonder if there’s a subtext that I’m missing.
