Are they granting just enough of them to breed discontent and further lower morale?

There are a few managers who won’t show up, in my BU. I guess they have an exception, but I feel like “leaders” of all people should be in the office. One has an actual medical condition, but i don’t think the others do. They wouldn’t come in when it was every other week. They never mentioned anything other than they wouldn’t be in because they had to take their kid to practice.
I get having a medical condition. However, based on what they said, it sounded like they didn’t want to be in the office so then they went to therapy to get an exception. Maybe they are having mental health issues but it’s better when they’re not there. The managers on medical leave, in my function just cause problems. At least with them not in the office, we can get work done. So I exclude them from people I actually want, in the office
Curious as to what allowable exceptions are. I’m sure people are taking advantage, especially if managers grant exceptions that shouldn’t be allowed. The rules need to be clear and enforced.
Rules for the dinosaurs and the rules for the rest
@OP - Plenty of VPs with "business exceptions", but what exactly is their critical contribution that can't be found somewhere else? They are the ones that say everyone is replaceable. The critical people actually doing the work are not getting exceptions, while the higher ups are sitting in other states "leading" from afar.
