So I came across this wild article called Tech CEO Applauds Employee Selling Their Dog for Return-to-Office Push… yes, you read that right. Apparently, a tech CEO praised an employee’s decision to sell their pet in order to show their dedication to returning to the office.
Basically, the company had a policy that all employees needed to be in the office, but some employees were hesitant to return due to COVID-19 concerns. One employee decided to sell their furry friend so they could make it back to the office. And the CEO was thrilled by this dedication and posted about it on LinkedIn.
Now, I’ve heard some wacky things in my time, but this one takes the cake. I mean, it’s one thing to be dedicated to your job, but selling your pet? That just seems like a step too far.
But it’s not just about this one incident - the article touches on the larger issue of companies pressuring their employees to return to the office, even as pandemic concerns persist. And it raises questions about the lengths some people are willing to go to keep their job.
Overall, I think this article is an important reminder to prioritize our own well-being and values, even in the face of pressure from work. And hey, maybe it’s also a reminder to hold onto our furry friends tight (literally and metaphorically).
