My personal commitment will be to continue getting outside - even through the worst winter weather! Going to internalize the mantra:

A good employer will understand and trust that people are doing the best they can right now to manage their work and personal lives. This kind of surveillance and rigidity won't go very far in creating a culture where people feel appreciated and respected as human adults!

[Ask a Manager @AskAManager]

This person's employer makes them show that they're wearing shoes before Zoom meetings to make sure they're complying 100% with the dress code while they're at home. SHOES. Employers, some of you have lost your way.
