This story comes courtesy of Reddit by u/Icerman, a team lead for an app developer who’ve been working remote from the comfort of their PJs since day one. This guy and his team were living the dream—flexible hours, no commutes, and probably a pet or two snoozing by their feet as they worked. Then, out of the blue, Mr. Big Shot CEO drops the bomb: “Pack up, folks! We’re going back to the good ol’ days of water cooler chats and fluorescent lighting!” Yeah, because nothing screams “I value you” like forcing a cross-country move during a global love affair with remote work, right?
Cue the collective jaw drop. The team’s reaction? A mass “Thanks, but no thanks,” with a side of “We’re out.” From a cozy team of eight, they dwindled to a dynamic duo quicker than you can say “severance package.”
And the kicker? The CEO was shook. Like, genuinely baffled by the mass exodus. As if the concept of “happy employees don’t quit” was some kind of ancient riddle he couldn’t crack. It’s a tale of rebellion, freedom, and the universal truth that sometimes, the best way to stand your ground is to walk away.
