User’s reactions to the post:

“My only thought is someone should introduce them to this unique invention called Bluetooth headphones.”

“This shows exactly how toxic the workplace and the managers and founders must be.”

“Not sure if this is something to be proud of. And to justify this, some industry leaders will say that there is no such thing as work-life balance!! That one should work for more hours..etc. This needs to stop. It is about humans, not machines.”

“Could have been done on the phone - both - the meeting and the shoe shopping.”

“These are the kind of people who made companies rescind Work From Home policies. Such a sad state. it creates an impression that people in India have no work ethics.”

“But the weather....”

“Or might be taking team members feedback on which one to purchase for her next team meeting in WFO..”
