Worker Bee
Get up, coordinate with spouse to get the kids to school. Walks 15 blocks to get to work because the subway is no longer feels safe for her. Gets to the office and looks for a cube finds one but of course it is dirty so it needs to be clean, no cleaning supplies but luckily she and her friends brought some in as well as toilet paper as somehow it always is running out. Opens the thermos of coffee as that amazing coffee bar rolled out last year never has any coffee anymore.
Finally sits down to work and sees her manager has scheduled a meeting over her lunch so now there is no time to get food so she has to use Door Dash which eats up her lunch budget for the week. Luckily she remembers she only finished half her sandwich yesterday due to another emergency meeting and eats a soggy tuna sandwich in between meetings on Zoom as no one she works with is in this office.
Also sees that a very important team-wide meeting has been moved to later hours they say due to west coast participants and she has to figure out how she can get home before the meeting because walking in the dark is not safe.
Has to explain this to her manager in Des Moines who thinks it is all BS and says stop being a baby about returning to office. Warns attitude will be reflected in review.
Same scenario for the C Suiter
Car picks them up and whisks them to the office, Assistant bring them coffee and breakfast as they sit down to eat in their expansive office. Talks to next door C-Suiter and they decide today they will have salads and maybe a baked potato for lunch - thank goodness everything is made to order, Door Dash food is always cold by the time it gets in.
CRISIS No organic non GMO Essence of Rosewater air freshener in the lavatory - scream at assistant to go get this taken care of. Vendor sends theater tickets to C-Suiter in apology
Moved team-wide meeting to later in the day (blames SF because lets face it why not) because they have a reason to stay at work later, the wife is so excited about the surprise theater tickets and gets the nanny to stay and watch the kids and they plan to meet up at 7 pm. Isn't RTO grand!
