You have been warned — no more working from home without permission.

A simple Microsoft 365 Roadmap update will now generate a raft of unhappy headlines. The idea is simple. “When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.”

Forget the locational anonymity of a Teams virtual background. Teams will update your location when connected to your company’s WiFi. On video, you may have your usual background complete with company logo. But your boss will know you’re not in work.

    If your boss cares more about where you are doing your work, than if your work is getting completed, you need a new boss.

    Sure, in principle. Getting a new boss though… do you have any extra lobs laying around?

    I work in IT

    Aaaand here we go, of course you thought finding a new job was a viable alternative.

      I can’t find a new job. I literally hate my current one. My entire management team is full of micromanaging dipshits.

      I keep applying for jobs and nothing happens.

      I’m not saying it would be easy to find a new job, just that if you’re in that situation, you need one.
