This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have a friend who could do her job 100% remotely, but the company won't let them and just allows one or two days a week max.
And, I'm not kidding, some higher up said that they need employees at the office so that the parking lot looks nice and full for visiting clients. You can't make this shit up.
So dumb.
Just do what every company i work for does. everyone comes in the week ppl visit and up the dress code then. When they leave back to baseline sweat pants in office and 2-3 days a week.
Employees should suggest "decoy day", when everyone bands together to build fake cars to fill the parking-lot and thus impress visiting clients. You could organize a whole Potemkin Village thing, where a small number of in-office employees are re-used to look busy for those visiting clients.

Tom in accounting:
I was skeptic about his new workout regimen including self-decapitation, chopping off his hands, and ripping his legs off at the knees, but the results are undeniable!
He's the chair of the gym club, why would you doubt his regimen?
Don't ask, just go into the bread stool.
Maybe soon we could all get self-driving cars and have it drive itself to the office so the parking lot looks pretty
